MobileBg

A backgammon game for use on mobile phones, great for playing going home from work or when you have a couple of minutes of spare time. The game has a two player mode and a one player mode against an artificial intelligence. The ai is based on bglight but ported to java.

Status

The game is currently beta stadium, and has a fully playable one-point game. Current efforts are directed to a full game length.

Installation

Transfer the jar file to the phone (using infrared, bluetooth or whatever means possible by the phone) and it should be ready to go. In the near future a wap download will hopefully be available.
