Senet Variants Tool

Originally published sometime around 2015, probably.

This is a tool for playing various Senet variants. Multiple board and initial layouts selectable, including 5 vs 7 pawns, and whether the final space is marked or not.

Otherwise, this program doesn't enforce rules except for swapping. You can use it as you would a physical set and agree with your partner on which ruleset to use. You can also save/load the game and throw sticks with the space bar. Pieces that bear off the board can be placed inside the box.

The lighter side of the sticks represents 1.

Features:

• 5 or 7 pawns setup

• Marked/unmarked final space

• Hold space to throw sticks

• Counter that keeps track of remaining pieces

• Auto swapping

• Save/load

• Place passed pieces into the box
