<title>Introduction</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>&kbackgammon; is a graphical backgammon program. The objective
|
|
of backgammon is to move your checkers off the board before your
|
|
opponent does. While the rules of backgammon are moderately difficult
|
|
(the most difficult part apparently being the initial positioning of
|
|
the checkers), this document does not try to teach these rules: please
|
|
refer to the Web, a book, or (probably best) a friend for this.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>&kbackgammon; offers you a graphical backgammon board that can
|
|
be used almost entirely by using the mouse (although textual commands
|
|
are also available and it should be possible to play backgammon
|
|
without the mouse, too). Therefore, &kbackgammon; is easy to use and
|
|
allows you to concentrate on the important aspects of playing
|
|
backgammon.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In order to play backgammon, you usually need an
|
|
opponent. &kbackgammon; offers you to play against hundreds of
|
|
different opponents of various strength on the <ulink
|
|
url="http://www.fibs.com/">First Internet Backgammon
|
|
Server</ulink>. If you prefer, you may also use the <link
|
|
linkend="engine-offline">Offline Engine</link> which allows you to
|
|
play against yourself or friends that are with you at your
|
|
computer.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In the near future &kbackgammon; will allow you to play against
|
|
<link linkend="engine-gnubg">&GNU; Backgammon</link>, which is a
|
|
powerful backgammon program that usually runs without a graphical
|
|
frontend. It plays on <acronym>FIBS</acronym> with a rating of about
|
|
2000 (which is quite high).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Additionally, plans are on the way that will allow games over
|
|
the Internet between two &kbackgammon; programs (and their respective
|
|
users). Finally, the architecture of &kbackgammon; is quite open and
|
|
it is possible to include support for other engines easily (if you are
|
|
interested in this, please contact the author).</para>

<title>How to use the Board</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>&kbackgammon; is centered around a graphical backgammon
|
|
board. This board consists of the checkers, the dice, and the
|
|
cube. All these game elements can be conveniently manipulated with the
|
|
mouse.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The following image shows a typical game situation with the
|
|
white player moving from 1 to 24 and the black player moving from 24
|
|
to 1. Currently, the white player owns the cube and has just rolled 3
|
|
and 4.</para>

|
<para>If it is their turn, players can roll the dice by double
|
|
clicking on the squares representing the dice or by using the
|
|
corresponding menu entry or toolbar icon (if the toolbar is visible
|
|
and rolling has been included in the toolbar).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If they own the cube, players can double the cube by either
|
|
double clicking on the square representing the cube or by using the
|
|
corresponding menu entry or toolbar icon (if the toolbar is visible
|
|
and the cube has been included in the toolbar).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If it is their turn to move, players can move checkers by
|
|
clicking on them and moving the mouse pointer to the desired location
|
|
(while holding the mouse button continuously pressed). This is called
|
|
dragging the checker. Depending on the selection made in the current
|
|
<link linkend="engines">engine's</link> <link
|
|
linkend="prefs">configuration</link>, the move will be finished once
|
|
the maximum number of checkers has been moved (this may be anywhere
|
|
between 1 and 4 checkers, although it will usually be 2
|
|
checkers).</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In addition to dragging the checkers, the board offers a feature
|
|
called <firstterm>short move feature</firstterm>. If this has been
|
|
enabled in the board's configuration menu, checkers can be moved by
|
|
simply clicking on them. The board will then automatically make the
|
|
shortest move possible away from the current field. If the short move
|
|
feature <link linkend="prefs">is enabled</link>, it may be set to
|
|
single or double click. This option is very useful for users of
|
|
touchpads that are sometimes difficult to use for dragging.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Finally, the board has a certain smartness: it will only accept
|
|
moves that are allowed (based on the current dice). While the <link
|
|
linkend="engine-offline">offline engine</link> allows this to be
|
|
switched off (for the <guilabel>Edit Mode</guilabel>), this is usually
|
|
very helpful for unexperienced users (and advanced players will
|
|
probably never notice this). This feature can also be used to cancel a
|
|
move in progress: just drop it over an illegal field.</para>

<title>The &GNU; Backgammon Engine</title>

|
|
<para>The GNUbg engine does not yet exist (although it already has an
|
|
entry in the <guilabel>Engine</guilabel> menu). Therefore, the
|
|
remainder of this section should be taken with a grain of salt.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Use of the GNUbg engine requires a working installation of the
|
|
actual GNUbg program. &kbackgammon; then starts GNUbg in the
|
|
background and communicates with it. All this is transparent to the
|
|
user (&ie; it is hidden from the user) and all interaction with GNUbg
|
|
is through the &GUI; elements of &kbackgammon;.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If there are other enhancements that can help using GNUbg from
|
|
&kbackgammon;, please contact the author of &kbackgammon; (or better:
|
|
send a patch). Some of the more advanced features will probably be
|
|
position analysis and save/restore functions. However, playing is the
|
|
most pressing issue.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The one thing that will never happen is a combination of the
|
|
GNUbg and the <acronym>FIBS</acronym> engine! Using computer programs
|
|
to enhance user ratings is cheating!</para>
