Photograph your backgammon board and get both players' pip counts in seconds. Works offline, and your photo never leaves your iPhone. Take a photo of a backgammon board and get both players' pip counts in seconds. Counting pips by hand is slow and easy to get wrong in the middle of a game. Point your iPhone at the board, and the app finds the playing area, reads every checker on all 24 points and the bar, and does the arithmetic for you. HOW IT WORKS • Photograph the board, or choose a photo you already have. • Check the grid sits on the triangles. Nudge a corner if needed. • Tap which checkers are yours and which home board is yours. • Review the position. Anything the app isn't sure about is highlighted for you to check. • See both pip counts, and who's ahead in the race. MADE FOR REAL BOARDS • Works with any cloth, triangle colours and checker set, including marbled checkers. • Copes with shadows from the board's frame, photos taken at an angle, and dice on the board. • Checkers on the bar count as 25. • Every player must add up to 15 checkers. If some are missing, the app asks whether they've been borne off. • Tall or layered stacks are highlighted so you can confirm the count. PRIVATE BY DESIGN • All recognition happens on your iPhone. • Your photos are never uploaded or saved by the app. • No internet connection, no account, no ads, no tracking.
