It might be worth while looking at lichess and take some direction from their interface, which is quite nice.


Lichess has been a large inspiration for the project. I gave Lichess a shout-out for its influence in this blog post: https://bgammon.org/blog/20240101-hello-world/


That's awesome. I also took inspiration from Lichess for https://woogles.io - a way to play a Scrabble-like word game online that is also open source, AGPL, etc. (Also like yours, written in Go!) It's hosted a number of big tournaments and I believe we're about to hit 6M total games (5.984 million so far! within the next day or two). Computer analysis with a WASM program that is going to improve, etc. I hope bgammon achieves a lot of success; I've always wanted to learn backgammon and will give it a try.


Thanks. Lichess really has paved the way for other libre online games. Congrats on the upcoming milestone. :)


I'm really tickled by a lot of the stuff on your page. For example your own backgammon interface language (UBEI) - I'm also coming up with a language (UCGI) and slowly translating our clients, bots, analyzers etc to use it :)

I'll plug your site on our Discord, it's neat.
