    fl_set_object_callback(obj,doHole,100);
  fdui->holeT1 = obj = fl_add_button(FL_NORMAL_BUTTON,105,60,40,40,"");
    fl_set_object_boxtype(obj,FL_DOWN_BOX);
    fl_set_object_lcol(obj,FL_SLATEBLUE);
    fl_set_object_lsize(obj,FL_HUGE_SIZE);
    fl_set_object_lstyle(obj,FL_BOLD_STYLE+FL_EMBOSSED_STYLE);
    fl_set_object_callback(obj,doHole,101);
  fdui->holeT2 = obj = fl_add_button(FL_NORMAL_BUTTON,145,60,40,40,"");
    fl_set_object_boxtype(obj,FL_DOWN_BOX);
    fl_set_object_lcol(obj,FL_SLATEBLUE);
    fl_set_object_lsize(obj,FL_HUGE_SIZE);
    fl_set_object_lstyle(obj,FL_BOLD_STYLE+FL_EMBOSSED_STYLE);
    fl_set_object_callback(obj,doHole,102);

the hole size seems to be 40x40 and the others must be placement on a grid. To make this bigger, I would guess it would be a total rewrite of this file PITA! Even though I LOVE mancala, this would be a very time consuming job...

It might be no more work than to re-write it to read those values from a configuration file.

In fact, it looks like that layout could be 'normalized' to calculate at start-up time from a few configuration file key values.
(grid size x.y, stride x, stride y - something like that)
