There is this port (link to play store around the botton of the page) : https://github.com/alcacoop/it.alcacoop.backgammon I never used it, nor the other Android apps below, so I cannot really comment much. As far as I know, it uses the GNUbg code for cubeless evaluations, may have some changes in the cube handling, and of course a totally different GUI. It is (or was, there doesn't seem to have been much change for 3-4 years) developed independently from GNUbg. You'll have to contact its authors at https://alcacoop.it/ for support or if you wish to commission features or improvements. Among alternatives, Backgammon NJ https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.njsoftware.backgammonnj and XG mobile https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gamesite2000.xgmobile are apparently well regarded. _______________________________________________ Bug-gnubg mailing list Bug-gnubg@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-gnubg
