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. (Free) fips.com login required.
