Hi!

Backgammon Studio keeps improving and today I have updated the version number to 3.8 with these fine improvements:

Backgammon Studio 3.8

Improvements since 3.7:

• New actiontags:
  • Make an anchor or make a point - Suggested by Aurélien Bonnet.
  • Give up anchor for a hit or not
• New positiontags:
  • Opponent has an outfield blot.
  • You have an outfield blot.
• New training tracks:
  • Anchor cubed! You have an anchor and have been cubed! Surely you can take anything?
  • Opposer! Slotting the 18 point can sometimes disrupt your opponents plans. Is now the time?
  • Outfielder! Send a checker into the opponent outfield and pray that it survives? Could be worth a try!
• Introduction videos! A lot of introduction videos has been created to the different sections on Backgammon Studio.
• Educational videos! A new section with an overview of educational videos found on youtube.
• Incomplete match poke! The number of incomplete matches is growing rapidly in the database. Use this to get this number down!
• Large stacks with numbers should be displayed better now and also on images/thumbnails of positions.
• Added option to remove friends.
• More text area clear (thrashcan) buttons.
• You can now turn off the error feedback sounds while keeping other sounds. These can hurt a bit!
• Online DMP Champs! The online match PR list has been split into another section for DMP matches.
• Online Speed Champs! The online match PR list has been split into another section for Speed matches.
• Share positions on facebook.
• Timed training tracks now with more time! 20 seconds to come up with the right answer. Still not easy! Suggested by Michael Krakus.
• Week in review: position filters.
• Bugfixes:
  • If you managed to get more than 6 checkers on the bar the board graphics would break down. I did! :-)
  • You could drag&drop (tablets) checkers onto an oppoent 2+ stack. Server would reject the move as invalid anyway. Thanks Shahab!

Some images



You can now compete for the DMP champion title!



A lot of matches have been played on Backgammon Studio which is cool! But a lot of incomplete matches have also piled up. Now you can poke your opponents in these matches too.



More sweet training tracks!



A lot of cool educational videos out there on youtube! Some of them are rather hard to find so I made a section which makes them easier to find.



There are now 100 action tags which I think is pretty cool!



2 more positiontags!



Week in review got a couple of new position filters.



Over 3800 matches played on Backgammon Studio! Awesome!



There is a new Tournament champ in town and it isn't me! Sux! Must fix! :-)



I have made a few (32+) introduction videos on different sections on Backgammon Studio.

All in all I think Backgammon Studio is making good progress but now it is time for Nordic Open! Oh yes! :-)
