I need a freelancer to fix and complete my Backgammon game project.

The project is already functional and running on Replit (TypeScript/JavaScript).GNUBG (GNU Backgammon) is partially integrated for bot move generation, but the integration needs fixing and full game rule enforcement.


Work Includes:

  • Completing GNUBG integration for move generation and analysis.

  • Correcting board state conversions to GNUBG's format (including bar and bearoff positions).

  • Making sure the bot plays correctly, respects legal moves, and follows standard Backgammon rules:

    • Hitting.

    • Re-entering from the bar.

    • Bearing off.

    • Blocking points.

  • Debugging and fixing any coordinate flipping bugs or dice issues.

  • Ensuring the game works for both human-vs-human and human-vs-bot games.

Requirements:

  • Deep understanding of Backgammon rules and player movement logic.

  • Proven experience integrating GNUBG (command line or API).

  • Strong TypeScript or JavaScript coding skills (the project is in TypeScript/JavaScript).

  • Must understand board perspective flipping and coordinate conversions for backgammon bots.

  • Strong debugging skills for game logic issues.


Deliverables:

  • Fully working Backgammon game with correct GNUBG integration.

  • Correct movement logic and board flipping for both players.

  • Working bot that plays legal moves and respects all game rules.

  • Documented code with explanations of major changes.

  • (Optional but preferred) Unit tests for move validation.
