GammonCamp

Study the blunders from your own Backgammon Galaxy matches. It runs on your Mac, and your matches and login stay there.

Mac only for now.

Set it up

You need Node 24 or later. If you don't have it, brew install node.

npx gammon-camp

Run it once. It installs the app, starts it in the background, and has it start again whenever you log in to your Mac. From then on it keeps your matches up to date by itself.

It then opens gammon.camp in your browser, which from then on shows an Open your dashboard button there. The first time you open the dashboard it asks you to connect your Backgammon Galaxy account. The first sync takes about 90 minutes, and later ones are quick.

Update it

When a new version is out, the dashboard shows a toast with an Update button. Press it, and the app downloads the new version and restarts. Nothing updates until you press it.

To know when one is out, the app asks npm for the newest version's number, at most once an hour and only while the dashboard is open. The request names the package and nothing else.

Stop it

npx gammon-camp stop

It stays stopped, including after you log in again, until you run npx gammon-camp.

Uninstall it

npx gammon-camp uninstall

It asks whether to keep your matches and your Backgammon Galaxy login, or delete them with the app. It deletes them only if you answer n and then type delete when it asks again. Run where there is no terminal to answer in, it keeps them.

Where things are

Your matches and login are in ~/.gammon-camp, and the app is in app inside it. The app's log is ~/.gammon-camp/app/app.log.

One file is kept outside that folder: ~/Library/LaunchAgents/camp.gammon.app.plist, which is what starts the app when you log in. stop and uninstall both remove it.
