Chaos Engine

2026-09-11T00:00:00+01:00

Chaos Engine is a backgammon engine built from scratch, currently in development. It’s designed to be embedded, not just played:

GNU Backgammon–compatible intelligence — a clean-room port of the same specialist neural-network approach used by GNU Backgammon’s own trained nets, with no code or weights reused.
Strong doubling-cube play — expectimax-style search backed by Monte Carlo rollouts, with doubling-cube decisions grounded in Janowski’s cube theory and full Match Equity Tables.
Every ruleset, first-class — Backgammon, Nackgammon, Hypergammon, and Acey-Deucey are modelled as genuine engine state, not reskins of one ruleset.
Built to embed — a Unity package and native Unreal modules, with builds shipping for Linux, Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android.

gnubg-nn

2026-09-11T00:00:00+01:00

gnubg-nn provides Python bindings to the GNU Backgammon neural-network evaluation engine — the position-evaluation nets, not the full backgammon game (no GUI or match play). It’s currently in alpha.

A Trainer class for training your own neural networks.
A self-play training pipeline, with gnubg-nn-download and gnubg-nn-buildnet console tools.
Works on Linux, macOS (Apple Silicon), and Windows, Python 3.10–3.13.

Install it with pip:

pip install gnubg-nn

gnubg

2026-09-11T00:00:00+01:00

gnubg is a native Python extension module that wraps the GNU Backgammon engine, so you can call the same position-analysis and cube-decision routines that power the GNU Backgammon GUI from any Python 3.8–3.13 script. It’s currently in alpha — expect the API to keep changing while we work towards a stable release.

Position classification, board and position-ID conversions.
Monte-Carlo rollouts and equity lookups.
Works across Python 3.8 through 3.13.

Install it with pip:

pip install gnubg
