The point is that FIBS has little to no defense against abuse, and any easily available way to use a bot while playing would kill it. Thus so far the owners of code allowing to connect the bizarre FIBS telnet interface to a GUI or playing bot keep their sources closed. If you are looking for a way to use the gnubg board as a display, that would be feasible. There are FIBS clients in C available (e.g. KBackgammon) so all you needed to do is to link the gnubg board component to them. Haven't looked at the gory details, but both the gnubg 3DBoard and the KBackgammon component architecture should be sufficiently clean to do that. However, nobody has done that so far, but I don't think it is rocket science. As for adding actual gnubg hint support, I would ask you not to do that and in case you do keep your sources closed. Ingo

I did have a quick look a while ago at creating a fibs client based on the gnubg interface but gave up as the Fibs interface (telenet) wasn't at all obvious. Some of the bots playing on fibs are using the gnubg engine, these are standalone projects, I'm not sure how they handle the fibs communictaion.
