Games::Backgammon 0.13

Games::Backgammon is a Perl module for modelling backgammon games.

SYNOPSIS

 use Games::Backgammon;
 
 my $game = Games::Backgammon->new(
 position => {
 whitepoints => {3 => 1, 4 => 1, 5 => 3, 6 => 3}, # ideal 40 pip position
 blackpoints => {4 => 3, 5 => 5, 6 => 7}, # ideal 79 pip position
 atroll => 'black',
 }
 );

 print "Position ID: ", $game->position_id;
 print "Checkers off from white", $game->whitepoints('off');
 print "Now you can do these moves: ", join " ", $game->legal_moves(2,1);

This module helps modelling backgammon games. It is not basically intented to play backgammon for itself. I just wrote it to analyze (long) racings in a convenient way.

Most of the routines are just wrappers to the gnubg program of Gary Wong.
