CWDA & Joker[Subject Thread] [Add Response]

One of my long term goals is to create a CWDA game that has jokers. It seems to me weird to have the joker imitate a piece from the enemy army. So I had thought at a transferrer. A piece that transfers the power from the enemy piece to it's counterpart from my army. So if such a piece should exist in the classic Betza's CWDA for example if the opponent moves a BEDE I get to move a charging rook (in a NN versus a CC). One trouble is that no programs implements this yet, firstly because that has not crossed anyone's mind. I can make my own program (I am progressing at my work for an apothecary chess program by the way) but this takes a bit of time. I'd like to try some basics. Anyone, any Idea how. Maybe the ID HG? It seems difficult to me though.

Anyway is the transferrer an interesting concept, or the joker should be enough even in this context?
