bacKgammon is a backgammon program specifically written with the
|
|
KDE in mind. It offers the opportunity to play backgammon games by
|
|
using a convenient and intuitive graphical user interface.
|
|
|
|
bacKgammon is the direct successor of KFibs. the latter was a
|
|
program for playing backgammon games on the first internet backgammon
|
|
server (FIBS). bacKgammon is an almost complete rewrite of KFibs
|
|
to fix some of the most obvious problems:
|
|
|
|
* improved visual appearance of the board
|
|
* improved user interface design: fewer dialog boxes and improved
|
|
appearance of the main window
|
|
* better code design for easier maintainability and extensibility
|
|
* better extensibility by separating the board from the driving
|
|
backgammon engine - include
|
|
* your backgammon server or use the GNU backgammon engine gnubg to play
|
|
|
|
Usage of bacKgammon does not require a connection to the Internet,
|
|
nor does it require an account on FIBS. You can use the program to
|
|
play backgammon against yourself (which might become boring after
|
|
a while) or against friends by using the offline engine.
