F.I.B.S. general support / Re: Writing new client

Maybe I'm not understanding your question, but if it's your turn to roll the dice and you try making your moves with X and you can't seem to move, then I would guess you are the O.

F.I.B.S. general support / Writing new client
Last post by eddie - August 20, 2020, 11:25:25 AM
Hi ,

  I am trying to write a fibs client ,
  I saw the protocol description and i think it is excellent (CLIP etc..).

  however, i noticed that when i play a game (right now against bots) sometimes i am represented as the X player (-1) and other times i am represented as a 0 player (1) in the board state format.

  my question is:

   When i play how do i know if i am represented as X or as 0 ?

Feedback & Questions / BBGT board chat
Last post by gaucho - May 16, 2020, 05:39:51 PM
Why sometimes the chat does not work. When I want to chat with my opponent and the chat window is not responding.
When the payers chats with me, I cannot respond.
Any way to solve it?
Thank you

We're looking for a good client with source code, that we can improve to add desirable features.
Suggestions? Anyone feel like joining in?

Cheers

R.I.P / FALAFEL R.I.P
Last post by Ashi - February 16, 2020, 02:41:46 AM
Legendary backgammon player Michel Natanzon (known as "Falafel") has past away yesterday.
He was 51 years old and died from brain cancer.
Falafel was world best backgammon player twice, at 2007 and 2011.
I could'nt find an English article so here is a Hebrew one:

Last post by maria - June 16, 2019, 10:46:56 AM
I'm not quite sure what you mean by reversing the dice.  Do you mean play the lower number first?
With FIBzilla you right click on the checker you want to move with the lowest number.
As for the difference between kibitz and whisper, when you kibitz if anyone is watching you play they will see it.
If you whisper, only your opponent will see it.
Hope this was of some help.
