Hi,

I ported the game also on Bill Shen's Z80ALL, it's published here: https://github.com/Laci1953/Software-for-Z80ALL-retro-computer/tree/main/backgammon

Z80ALL's VGA software interface is VT52-compatible, so it was really easy to adapt the source code...

Of course, on Z80ALL the checkers are represented using some nice graphics.

Another advantage (besides the speed...) is the random number generator, using as seed-value the sum of all screen chars, facilitating for each new game a completely different experience...

regards,
Ladislau

Hi,

I updated both RC2014 version and Z80ALL version of the game (better random number generator seed routine).

Nice to see that you took my patched version as your base :)

For all other readers, it can be found here:
https://git.imzadi.de/acn/vt100-games/
Of course it lacks the features that Ladislau added.

Anna

Hi Anna,

I was lucky to find your VT100 adaptation of this game!

However, we must all recognize the indisputable merits of the author of the original game, David C. Oshel.

His algorithm for generating the computer moves is outstanding (3 tier strategy...).

I think that my only valuable add-on, besides the game save/load, was the random number generator & seed value setting routine... it adds a unique experience to each new game.

regards,
Ladislau

Of course, no doubt about it! That's why I kept all original
documentation files in my repository and just appended information
about my changes.

I have to admit that all this is above my programming knowledge :)

Nice additions, thank you!
I think I might start another round of adding things to the repo soon,
so I'll add a link to your repository, too.

Regards,
Anna
