RE: Hyper gammon

[Ian Shaw]

I’ve retested on windows: GNU Backgammon 1.06.002-mingw 32-Bit 20180802

 

This is the output I get.

 

makehyper -c 2 -f hyper2.bd

Unknown keyword `makehyper'.

Hypergammon is supported. See Philippe's recent reply. I can confirm that the info he offered is correct for Ubuntu. I just used 

 

makehyper -c 2 -f hyper2.bd

 

to generate the database for two-checker hypergammon. Generation took 52 seconds. Alas, generation of the three-checker database will take a lot longer. After I moved the two-checker database file to /var/lib/gnubg/, the option to play two-checker hypergammon became available.

Hi Ezequiel, 

 

I'm afraid it looks like gnubg may no longer support hypergammon,even though the options are still there in the gui.
