Backgammon Reloaded 3D

This is Backgammon Reloaded.

Play in offline mode against Artificial Neural Networks trained for thousand of games in mixed and cascade mode.
Play in online mode against high skilled players all around the world.

The user interface is now highly optimized for speed and for saving your battery.

This is the peak of engineering in terms of graphics and network communication. Written in C++ with SDL2 library as abstraction layer.
The user interface is build from scratch using OpenGL ES 2.0, allowing it to run on any operating system, even in browser. Animations are fixed at 60 frames per second.
Network communication uses non-blocking TCP sockets using select pooling for high throughput, allowing the app to resume games while the client changes IP addresses. You will almost find a lot at least 70 players connected to the server. As time passes, it will replace FIBS by creating multiple clients on different devices (desktop, phones, smart TVs).
