A second-order difference equation with sign-alternating coefficients

We provide an explicit solution for the terms of the sequence $(x_{n,k})$ defined by $$x_{n,k}= x_{n-1,k} - (-1)^{\lfloor (n-2)/k\rfloor} x_{n-2,k}\, ,$$ for $n\geqslant 3$, setting $x_{1,k}=1$ and $x_{2,k}=0$. Several particular examples are considered.
