The only free neural network trained backgammon AI on iOS! Backgammon Machine leverages the power of Apple's brand new CoreML machine learning technology to create a fast and challenging opponent at two different skill levels. My dad complained that his backgammon app cheated at higher difficulties, and he was right! Backgammon Machine's dice are 100% fair (though it will feel like cheating sometimes when you're getting hammered) Can you beat The Machine?
No it doesn’t cheat, but no doubling cube or matches
Seems like a decent if bare bones backgammon app, but the lack of a doubling cube or the ability to create matches is a serious downer. Add those and perhaps some bare bones graphics and the game would be much better!
Game blocks one die wrongly
Game blocks one die when playing in from bar. For example, roll is 21 and point 2 is blocked. Points 1 and 3 are empty. Checker on bar can only play to point 1 (die showing 2 is grayed out). However, after playing from the bar, the checker can be moved 2 to point 3. The game has a critical bug.
Impossible Dice-Don’t bother
The more wins a human racks up the better the machine’s dice get. There is no way it gets the rolls it does. If this is AI count me out… we’re doomed.
Great Game
Now let’s include doubling to get the real BG experience.
Computer Affects Dice Roll
I don’t care what the author says. The only changes I noticed are that the computer gets EVERY roll of the dice that it needs. Once in a while is expected, but not 99% of the time. It is a cop out to change the computer’s luck, instead of making smarter moves.
Play to 100 Human Wins
Since I am getting better at playing this game. I like to play to 100 Human wins then delete the app and then re-upload it. That way the app has to relearn how I play at my higher skill level.
Bad graphics and layout
Hard to see and move pieces. Developer consider using the entire screen. Not just the middle third
-small tweaks -remove erroneous claim to being the only neural network trained backgammon game on iOS. sorry Backgammon NJ!
