Bright Backgammon is an interactive, playable backgammon set for Second Life.

Though attractive just as scene dressing, it allows people to play each other, or test their skill against the built in, backgammon playing bot.

You can even have it play a bot vs bot demonstration game, or automatically play such games when idle, while still allowing visitors to stop such a demo game with a click, and play backgammon themselves.

The game implements all the rules of Backgammon, and makes play easy by making clickable components glow when available. So when it is a player's turn to roll their dice, their dice cup will glow. When the dice have been rolled, those checkers which can be legally moved will glow. And if they have a choice of points to which they can move, these points will glow. Even new players will immediately know how to play.

Animation and sound make these moves more immersive. Sounds accompany the dice rolling onto the board, checkers clicking against each other as they move, and dice being picked up and dropped back in their dice cups.

Each player has an "undo" button, so that moves may be modified until the player decides to pick up their dice to end their turn (as is the rule in real world backgammon), and a "help" button, which provides a notecard explaining the rules of the game.

Bright Backgammon also understands "gammon" and "backgammon" wins of 2 and 3 points respectively, and provides a doubling cube, used exactly as in real world backgammon, and multiplying the points won in a game. You can even make offers to double when playing a bot!

The points won can be displayed on a scoreboard provided with the set. This is a small disk you can place independently of the board, projecting floating text listing the accumulated scores of both the 100 top scorers, and 100 newest players. Run a league table, and encourage revisits, and competition!

You can rez Bright Backgammon for public use, and you can keep a copy in your inventory to "Add" to your avatar as an attachment. When you do, it will float in front of you, allowing you to play backgammon against other people *anywhere* in Second Life, even in no-rez areas!

And the set is highly configurable. A simple settings menu allows you to set its size, from a tiny 68cm to a full 34m across - a board you and your opponent can walk around in as you play! There is a selection of preset themes (including options like "Shipboard", with a gnarly timbered frame, and "Hobo" with a suitably weather-worned look), and options to individually set checker colours and board textures.

You may also set the amount of floating text to "full", "brief", or "none". Full floating text can be helpful to spectators, showing the player's names, dice rolls, rolls left, and so on. Brief text simply shows help to the players, telling them when to click their dice to roll, or click checkers to move, and so on. But if you find floating text ugly, Bright Backgammon is designed to be playable without it, even by those using it for the first time.

This is a full, loving implementation of the game of Backgammon, helpful to beginners, but implementing all the rules and features of the game as understood by aficionados. It adds charm and interest to the tables in your bar or cafe, it is a gorgeous addition to your home's decor, and, above all, it is a fun way to play one of the world's greatest games!
