eXtreme Gammon version 1.19 beta

Posted By: eXtreme Gammon
Date: Saturday, 12 June 2010, at 2:29 a.m.

Version 1.19 Beta is available for testing

Go to www.extremegammon.com/beta.asp to download the new version

Beta versions are not yet finalized versions. Some features may not yet be completely implemented and the program did not go through a format full test. If you download it please understand that there may be some bug not caught so it is at you own risk.

If you have problem with this version you can download the regular stable version (1.14) and install it on top of the current installation (no uninstallation is needed).

I am mostly interested in feedback for the main improvement: transcribing games. There is a whole new mode that is designed to capture live game or games you enter form a book.

  • No need to set the dice to manual or set both player as human: just use the menu File/New/Game transcription (CTRL+T) and it will enter the new mode.
  • Easy keyboard shortcut to enter dice
    • Just type the dice (even if you did not confirm to last move) to start entering them
    • The dice display on the board as you enter them
    • Easy shortcut (F to say the opponent dance, R for random dice)
    • Ability to enter illegal move (shortcut I)
    • Easy take back (shortcut T)
    • Edit position in place (shortcut E)
  • For online broadcasting, new broadcast banner (menu layout/broadcast banner)

I am looking forward to your feedback on that interface.

The other important change is the ability to enter missing option when importing from site that do save in their file information such as Jacoby, Beaver, Crawford or cubeless.
