This is a Backgammon Bot driven by a Neural Net. This is an example of AI (Artificial Intelligence), and it's AI that you can make at home on your home computer. All play decisions are made by the Neural Net, I didn't program in any special rules. This Bot plays at an intermediate level, a little better than the reference Backgammon Bot player PubEval, on average it will beat PubEval 54% of the games and also win by points won... It's very interesting to create a Backgammon Bot and I had a terrific time doing it. However, it's not something everybody can do since you have to know how to program to create the Bot, its Neural Net, its testing enviroment, and the Web Browser UI to play it and show it of... This is the second version of this Bot. In the first version, I used a basic Neural Net with a special back propagation that uses TD-Learning, see the rules set up by Gerald Tesauro around 1990. Here's a link that explains how to change a Neural Net so it can play Backgammon using TD-..
