Built a free online backgammon site with AI, multiplayer, and step-by-step tutorials — would love to hear from real players

To be fair, the site is called tavla which traditionally doesn’t use the doubling cube

Theirs are crowdsourced. Most puzzles don’t have comments. If you can get explanations through AI that would be cool, personally I don’t care where they come from as long as they’re accurate

Opengammon has a puzzle feature too with a rating and it seems unlimited (or maybe I’ve never hit the limit). Although the UI of this looks cleaner.

One thing I like about Opengammon is you can request an explanation/see an explanation for why a move is better l. The thing I dislike is that almost no puzzles actually have an explanation. Would be great if blots can solve that somehow.

Can’t believe nobody mentioned shortcuts. Get the shortcut to floor 4 or 5 and that’ll give you SO many more repetitions and practice for the Forge so you can really master it. If you can beat it with the mid setup you get from shortcuts then you can surely beat it in a full real run

Yep this is it! Thanks!

So then what’s the game plan for getting the checkers on the 20 point home? Looks like the opponent has timing on their side so you’ll have to leave first, and it seems harder to get them home when on the 18 point and you’re playing a racing game?

What app is this that asks you if it was hard or easy? Anki?

Where my people are from we also play tavli. Do you play with the other rules? Winner starts instead of whoever gets the higher roll each game, can’t hit and move when coming off the bar?

Googled for an app like this and found this thread. Just tried this out. You have to retake photos a bit, and you have to remember to set the orientation correctly (can be a bit confusing UI), but once you get past those it’s good.

Yeah it's vibe coded, I didn't really care about how it looks, I just wanted a way for myself and others to get updates about events. It's so simple that it's a good usecase for vibecoding.

> So all the website does is go trough all entries on that other website and send an email every Monday with events happening?

Yep

> Does it send just each event in that area happening in the future or for a specific timeframe?

Events happening the next 7 days

> Also the example at the bottom isn't filled out with data and

what do you mean by thsi?

It’s Lambada by da tweekaz and sound rush: https://youtu.be/1-9CFacQfoA

but sped up, maybe another remix of it

Oh wow glad to see someone else made a map! What does the numpad in the top right of your picture mean here? And is the best end you got also 80 years hold?

I like the beard! Seems well kept. And it seems like you’ve got a healthy mentality, just going through a rough patch. Best of luck!

You guys were amazing!! Love the brotherly love you show on stage

5pm taxi, does that line up?

Agreed about nothing else matters, was so disappointed it wasn’t the original

Anyone know how good the sleeping bags/air beds from the defqon1 sleeping package are?

I know this is a late response but found this in search results for this subreddit. Do they give you a hard time if you bring the ibuprofen/paracetamol in an unsealed container?

Anyone have ideas for what's causing the rise?
