Show HN: Backgammon Board with Realistic Mechanics

I've always dreamed of a backgammon board with realistic mechanics, like real 3d dice throw, so I made this, it's still WIP but you can play an entire game on the same computer/mobile.

Pretty cool! what's the engine behind it, eXtreme Gammon? Ah wait you can only play against another player, would be fun to add an engine to it.

No engine, just the board for now and the constraints of the game. Yes, I agree, I might look into it. Do you want to help? I can put it on GH just needs some cleaning up.
