no visual hints (eg. for allowed moves);\n    - no pip counter;\n    - quality random generator.\n- Extensible and modular engine that would allow the open source community to implement different variants of the game as known in different countries and different user interfaces (eg. themes).\n- Lightweight - playable on any device, even old ones - anything that can run a modern browser;\n- Works in browser @ PC \u0026 Mobile;\n\nIf you want to learn more about the project see [Detailed documentation](docs/README.md).\n\n## Screenshot\n![Landing page](docs/images/progress-landing-page.jpg)\n\nYou can try the game locally or deploy it to your own server.\n\n[![Deploy](https://www.herokucdn.com/deploy/button.svg)](https://heroku.com/deploy?template=https://github.com/quasoft/backgammonjs/tree/heroku)\n\n## How to install\n\nTo host the game on your own server or test it locally for development, you need to install the main backgammon.js package.\nIt includes both the backgammon.js server and client.\n\nThere is no need to install the client separately, as it is served automatically from the server via HTTP.\nClient should work in *modern* browsers of both desktop PCs and mobile devices.\n\nThe universal way to install the server is:\n\n1. Clone repository locally\n2. Change working directory to the local copy of the repository\n3. Run:\n\n        npm install\n        npm start\n\nThe game server has been tested to work on the following platforms:\n\n- [Ubuntu](docs/INSTALL.md#ubuntu)\n- [Windows](docs/INSTALL.md#windows)\n- [Docker](docs/INSTALL.md#docker)\n- [Heroku](docs/INSTALL.md#heroku)\n- [OpenShift Online](docs/INSTALL.md#openshift-online)\n\nFollow the links above for more detailed installation instructions on those platforms.\n\n## How to change default rule\n\nCurrently three rules have been implemented (as known in Bulgaria):\n \n- [`RuleBgCasual`](lib/rules/RuleBgCasual.js) - Standard rules, but without doubling cube (Rules: [Standard/Обикновена](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backgammon#Rules))\n- [`RuleBgGulbara`](lib/rules/RuleBgGulbara.js) - `Gul bara`, also called `Rosespring` or `Crazy Narde` (Rules: [Gul bara/Гюлбара](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gul_bara))\n- [`RuleBgTapa`](lib/rules/RuleBgTapa.js) - `Tapa` (Rules: [Tapa/Тапа](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tapa_(game)))\n\nThe player can choose which rule to play before starting a new game.\n\n## How to add new rules (variants)\n\nShort instructions on how to add new rules are available here: [Creating rules for `backgammon.js`](docs/rules.md).\n\n## Documentation:\n\n- [Installation instructions](docs/INSTALL.md)\n- [Detailed documentation](docs/README.md)\n- [JsDoc documentation of library](https://cdn.rawgit.com/quasoft/backgammonjs/master/docs/backgammon.js-lib/0.0.1/index.html)\n\n## Screenshots\n### Classic rule:\n![Classic rule](docs/images/progress-gameplay.jpg)\n### Gul bara rule:\n![Gul-bara rule](docs/images/progress-gameplay-2.jpg)\n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquasoft%2Fbackgammonjs","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fquasoft%2Fbackgammonjs","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fquasoft%2Fbackgammonjs/lists"}
