    I know nothing about backgammon but just had a look at a board.
    If I understand you correctly, could you use multi dimensional arrays to hold values to represent the checkers?

    Now that I have looked at the game rules, you may only need a pair of simple arrays with each element holding a integer for the column count. Then write a function to find all the valid moves and a way of evaluating the most beneficial move depending on other factors in the state of the game.

    Does anyone have a working code for this backgammon? The question is strange, but I'm new and I want to understand everything in order to make fewer mistakes, and so there are no nerves left while I am trying to figure it out.

    My friend wants to put this model in 3D and do something similar, he is also trying to do everything on his own. How will he or I have results about it I will inform :)

    Nicely done! I'm not a backgammon player but I liked the natural look of the board and pieces. The sheen on the board makes it look lightly varnished. The controls seemed intuitive but at the end of my turn when the dice roll is spent, I feel like I have to "hunt" to find the "submit move" button. I'd rather have an "undo/submit" choice pop up in the middle of the screen. Also, it seems like I don't have a full range of choices for spending dice rolls, somehow. Still, I like how available moves are highlighted when you hover a stack.
