It is based on the code, +ideas and concepts of KFibs (which is a FIBS client for KDE1). For a +short time, KBackgammon was called bacKgammon (if you know somebody +who is still using bacKgammon, please force them to upgrade :-)). + + +KBackgammon is a backgammon program built around a graphical backgammon +board. Since it uses moular backgammon engines, it can easily be extended +beyond the current set of engines. At the moment, the following types of +backgammon games are supported: + + FIBS - online games on the First Internet Backgammon Server. + the computer handles the network connection and + translates the textual messages from the server into + graphical representations. this engine offers separate + chat window and player list window to simplify the + interaction with the server + + Offline - play against yourself or a freind that is sitting next + to you. the most important role of the computer is rolling + the dice. + +In the near to mid future, the program will be extended with the following +two kinds of engines: + + GNUBg - the GNU backgammon program is a powerful neural network + and KBackgammon will soon allow you to play against it + from the convinience of your KDE desktop. + + NextGen - this extension of the offline engine will allow you to play + against other players on the network. the computer makes + sure that the dice are fair and it handles the netwok + communication. + +If you lust for other kinds of engines (besides FIBS, there are other +internet servers out there and it somebody might want to have access +to these as well), please contact the Jens Hoefkens <jens@hoefkens.com> +and make your wishes heard. + |
