Backgammon for the iPhone is a native version of the classic game to run on Apple iPhone and iPod Touch.

Changes:

– Added: One-tap checker movement.
– Bug fix: In the devices with firmware 1.1.3 settings might not be saved.
– Bug fix: When all checkers were at home and the first die couldn’t be played the game did not check the second die.

The game itself is free, but donators will be able to access extra features. Please consider donating if you like this game.

Here are some news from Ste:

A few of us have gotten together and created a channel, on freenode, called #iphone-hackers. This is a place where devs can come and hang out with each other to exchange ideas and work together, in what we hope will be a productive environment for all.

The channel is not for general iPhone or iPod Touch questions – there is an already-established channel, ##iphone, on freenode for that.

So, developers, feel free to come join us. We welcome you.

The point of the game is to spell all the words you can for points, but make sure to get a six-letter word or the game is over. The game is fully playable– tap letters to put them in and out of the word grid, double tap to submit the word. The famous ‘twist’ is performed by tilting the device clockwise or counterclockwise, and then tilting it back again. Once the round is over, words you missed are displayed in caps. By the way, if there’s too many potential words to fit on the screen, the text area up there is scrollable.
