Hello Sir again,
Other softwares of backgammon like extreme backgammon or Arioston backgammon allows you to setup the position that you want. If allowing the setup position in GNU backgammon is enabled, it will be possible for us to play the Longgammon variant.
Could you enable the setup position in your next update so that we would be able to play the longgammon variant?
I guess this is easy to apply as long as the standard rules of backgammon are also to be followed in longgamon.
By the way, what happened to the suggestions as regards the addition of more backgammon variants e.g Plakoto, Fevga, Narde, ...etc ? Have you passed it to your colleagues in the team?
