Yes, I kind of liked that idea as well. It should be quite easy to
implement the roll joker/roll anti-joker part of it; this is just a
matter of using the luck analysis module and selecting the best roll. 

The dice look-ahead is a bit harder since it either requires a dice
buffer we can use for look-ahead or some scheme where the RNG seed is
reset every time we've looked ahead.


hmmm, 20 minutes later:

I'm sorry: I couldn't resist :-) I've implemented the roll joker/roll
anti-joker part (except for the opening roll)... If someone thinks this
is juuuuust toooo much let me know, and I'll remove it again :-)

Try it with the command "set cheat on".

BTW, as an interesting side note it reveiled that there is a bug in the
backgammon evaluations....
