Short: An intelligent game of backgammon. v2.5
Uploader: glynnk@cadvision.com (Kevin Glynn)
Author: glynnk@cadvision.com (Kevin Glynn)
Type: game/board
You will have a hard time finding a stronger playing game of backgammon.
This program should work on any Amiga with OS 2.04 or greater and will use
a 640x480 AGA multiscan screen if available. I've also heard that it works
good on a Picasso card. ProGammon is system friendly, it's full of options
yet it remains small and very cpu & memory efficient.
Changes in v2.5:
-improved the AI used during the late stages of the game. It
should be much harder to gammon the Amiga.
-added some code to encourage the Amiga to maintain a wall of
6 stones once it has established one.
-cleaned up various routines for speed and size.
In the long run, it will take an expert player to keep the Amiga from
winning 50% of the time. Good luck!
