Problems in backgammon, portes games. - nikpapa - 06-19-2020
First of all I would like to congratulate you all for this project. Amazing work!
I would like to point out that the initial position of Backgammon and Portes games is wrong. The stack with the 3 checkers is shifted one column to the right for both players.
The initial position can be corrected in both games by changing the start rules like this:
(start {
(place Stack "Disc1" 0 count:5) (place Stack "Disc1" 12 count:2)
(place Stack "Disc1" 17 count:3) (place Stack "Disc1" 20 count:5)
(place Stack "Disc2" 4 count:3) (place Stack "Disc2" 7 count:5)
(place Stack "Disc2" 13 count:5) (place Stack "Disc2" 25 count:2)
})
Also, the rules of backgammon and portes as implemented so far seem identical. However, in modern backgammon there is also the possibility of triple wins and there is also the option to double the stakes via the doubling cube.

Hi,
Thank you very much for pointing those errors out. They'll be corrected in the next release.
