NEW FEATURES WITH BACKGAMMON V3.00
Software Creations
Software Creations would like to extend thanks again to all you users
who have made financial contributions and have made Backgammon Version
3.00 possible. We would also like to thank all of you users who have
sent in your suggestions for improvements to Backgammon. Remember, if
you write to us, include a stamped, self-addressed envelope as we'd like
the opportunity to respond to your suggestions and questions.
With this release we want to show off our new Backgammon board, which is
more colorful draws the pieces more neatly.
This release also fixes a deeply hidden bug in our white move generator.
Believe us, we got lots of mail about our Backgammon cheating when
moving 6's in the endgame!! Thanks to those alert users who caught us
sonambulating and completed those really clear Software Problem Reports.
Tenkey pad users, accountants especially, will be very pleased to know
that when moving pieces the delimiter character for moves can now be a
decimal point as well as a space. This allows for faster input for
those who are fast at tenkey pad entry. The space also works as with
previous versions.
This release also features a complete internal restructuring in the
program itself. Software Creations has thus laid the foundation for a
Championship-strength Backgammon game in the future. We'd like to know,
however, is there any interest out there for an even stronger version of
Backgammon? We have the capabilities of doing so, but currently it
keeps blowing us away!
