Hey Rich, thanks for trying the game. You made many good suggestions:

  • landscape mode
  • doubling cube
  • match play
  • running score, or a W/L stat with reset
  • auto-bearoff option if contact is broken
  • "finish game" button

I'll try to have most of these implemented in the next version.

I have noticed the strange behavior you described about breaking homeboard points in certain situations. I assume this is a result of the limited capacity of the network and will fix itself with a larger net.

Out of curiosity, is the game considering gammon values? Or is it just playing DMP?

Yes, even though the game only reports who the winner was, it is actually considering gammons and backgammons in its checkerplay.

Tom
