Show HN: MCP App to play backgammon with your LLM (github.com)

A new application has been announced that allows users to play backgammon against an AI language model (LLM) via Claude Desktop, as well as through a standalone web app. This project integrates core game logic using Redux and React components, enabling users to engage with the game either on a single device or as an independent web experience. The setup requires cloning the project repository and configuring it within Claude Desktop, making it accessible for anyone interested in blending traditional board games with AI interaction. This development is significant for the AI/ML community as it showcases the capabilities of LLMs not only in generating text but also in interactive gaming environments. The codebase highlights the use of Redux for state management and the modular design that separates game logic from UI components, which can facilitate future enhancements. However, it also underscores some limitations, such as the need for manual inputs to prompt the AI's turns and issues with UI redrawing that are currently under discussion. Overall, this project exemplifies the potential of AI to enhance human gaming experiences, paving the way for more sophisticated applications in entertainment and beyond.
