Rule of gin for Backgammon

We have recently added the 'rule of gin' to Backgammon and Nackgammon games. The rule of gin states: "If the player whose time has run out is certain to win the match, no matter what is rolled in the remainder of the game, including an already rolled legal throw, the player is still declared the winner of the match."

PlayStrategy will now award wins based on the rule of gin in these cases, as well as awarding gin Gammons and Backgammons appropriately.

We've also updated the other methods of game end (timeout, resign) to result Gammons and Backgammons correctly.

Whenever your Backgammon game finishes the status of the game and value of the win will be shown together in the normal place.
