| Backgammon
and the Palm Connected Organizer's Interface
The Palm Connected Oraginzer's touch sensative screen helps make Backgammon extremely easy to play. To move a piece you may tap and drag it to the appropriate location or touch the piece and then touch location to which you wish to move it. Options may be accessed through the silk screen Menu button. In the main screen this will give you a group of options. If you wish to use the New Game feature, tap the option here or use an option command in the graffiti area and then a graffiti "N". |

Another feature of the options menu is the Winning Percentages selection. When you double your wins are increased by the value of the cube. This holds true for gammons andbackgammons. | |||||||
