I want to gradually dip into the terminology of the game and learning some history and tradition of backgammon while doing so.

I hope this might be fun for you as well, to talk about a term at a time and learn about it, either historically and game wise.

Game wise a prime is quite an easy concept. It traps your opponent checkers. At a certain point you'll have to diamantle the prime to progress with the game, and when and how to do it it's a totally different story.

But why is a prime called as such?

There is no practical reason why I should not be using the color I prefer on a certain board, considering the opponent is very likely seeing other colors anyways according to the board THEY are using.

It would help me for any board to always use the same color for checkers.

I could not find how to do that.

Please help if you have any hints.

Ps.

Posting here as the guys at bgg apparently answer much more here than on support tickets!

I am a Foodvisor user and I am frustrated by how awkward it is to add food in it. I really like two things more in cronometer:

* being able to use a browsers

* shortcuts in the android app; although it'd be cooler if the UI would load faster. I suspect there's flutter behind that

BUT

in Foodvisor it's very unlikely that a barcode isn't recognized properly. With cronometer too often I have to enter stuff manually, which is a chore and defeats somehow the other benefits

Since you are asking users to populate the DB and you will benefit mostly of that, I think you should at least give some gold membership days for each food that is added properly - that would motivate users to spend time to do something that ultimately enriches _your_ app

Or just use the same database as Foodvisor, but I guess that might be private?

Well, thanks for reading. Really hoping to find the perfect partner to nutrition and this is the closest I could get so far.
