tabula is a backgammon engine I recently created.

The engine builds on principles described by the author of the Motif engine here: https://bkgm.com/motif/engine.html

You can play against the engine right now at https://bgammon.org

bgammon.org is a free and open source online backgammon service without ads or tracking.

The following major changes have recently been released:

• Sound effects were added
• Support for additional languages was added
• Click-to-move support was added
• Legal moves highlight feature was added
• Spectating matches is now supported
• Pip counts are now displayed
• Mobile device support has been optimized

The first AI opponent, wildbg is also now available (look for "BOT_wildbg's match"). wildbg is written in Rust, and is powered by neural networks. Can you beat it?

Announcing bgammon.org (online multiplayer backgammon)

I have developed an entirely free and open source multiplayer backgammon service.

You can try it out by visiting https://bgammon.org or by connecting via SSH:

ssh bgammon.org -p 5000

I would very much appreciate help with testing and feedback from anyone who knows how to play backgammon, or is interested in learning. The rules of backgammon are available here:

https://bkgm.com/rules.html

The password prompt is currently non-functional, and private lobbies are not yet available. Otherwise, the service is ready to test out, particularly the accuracy of the backgammon simulation. Because there are no accounts yet, everyone is logged in as a guest.

A terminal-based client is available, and a graphical client is planned. The terminal-based client is available over the web at the link above. This is accomplished by using GoTTY.

Move pieces by dragging them or by clicking a source space and then a destination space. You may make multiple moves by dragging a checker directly to its final destination.

The source code is available here: server & client.

Feel free to contact me directly at trevor@rocket9labs.com with test results and feedback.
