From kde-announce Fri Oct 15 05:54:21 1999 From: Jens Hoefkens Date: Fri, 15 Oct 1999 05:54:21 +0000 To: kde-announce Subject: ANNOUNCE: kfibs-1.0.5.tar.gz X-MARC-Message: https://marc.info/?l=kde-announce&m=94000101915971 Hi! I just released the newest version of KFibs. The official homepage of KFibs is located at http://www.hoefkens.com/lnx/kfibs.html Description: ------------ KFibs is a graphical client for the First Internet Backgammon Server. It translates the character based interface of the server in an easy-to-use graphical representation and allows the user to move pieces by just dragging them with the mouse instead of typing arcane commands like "move 3-6 8-13". Besides supporting a graphical representation of the actual backgammon board, KFibs supports various other aspects of FIBS by using separate windows. The multiple window approach allows the user to specifically select the viewable information without restricting access to them. Currently KFibs supports only online games on the First Internet Backgammon Server and there are currently no plans to support any of the commercial servers. There is however the plan of allowing off-line games via a separate backgammon engine (the GNU Backgammon engine, which has a FIBS rating in the 1700-1800 range).
