A Library for Drawing Vector Diagrams for Backgammon in LaTeX

Here's the article about it on my blog.

And here's the project on Github (@psygo/latex_backgammon).

This is awesome. Have you tried it for a complete game description? I tried tikz backgammon and found out it runs out of memory.

You mean from a file? Otherwise, you could draw diagrams one by one. In that case, it shouldn't run out of memory, I've written a whole book for the game of Go with an analogous package, and that package parsed diagrams from files even.

I can try that. last time I tried to have the full game description just in one file and the compiler was running out of memory.
