16. October 2021, 09:17:02 Modified by pgt (16. October 2021, 09:20:07)  The AUTOPASS feature for Backgammon is NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE! The implementation on this site is RIDICULOUS! After passing the first time of being unable to move, then it should be assumed that passing will continue until the player can actually move, Maybe the programmers are not up to making such a simple change. 19.

October 2021, 12:01:29 Subject: Re: pgt: It has been programmed that way in case the losing player would want to use the cube to double, even though they are stuck on the bar... I guess it could possibly happen but only extremely rarely, as in nearly never. A bit of a programming cop-out, I guess. 19. October 2021, 14:50:28 Subject: Re: Modified by Aganju (19. October 2021, 14:53:06)  moistfinger: Your idea is correct. I HAVE doubled from the bar before, not often, but not never either. It is a good play in some situations. I wouldn't want this option to be taken away... Note that if you CANNOT double (because the opponent has the cube, or it's post-crawford), it DOES Autopass. So it is not an be-lazy-and-save-some-code-problem, in the contrary, it is doing it even more detailed and correct. 19. October 2021, 19:30:29 Subject: Re:  Aganju: I agree. And I’ve doubled from the bar many a time. I’ve also had doubles at the bar many a time, but that’s a different story ;) |
