It won't add any time to the game. Just don't automatically roll the dice at the end of a person's turn. Wait for the next player to chose between 2 buttons: Roll & Double. Assuming he rolls, he can immediately move. No extra waiting is required.

Yes - should have said before - sprockitz is right. Except in turn-based, when it isn't such a big issue. :oops:

One other thing occurs to me bidulpik. I'm assuming that you'll be dealing with gammons and backgammons along with the cube.

You've probably realised this already, but just in case - you need to disable the "concede game" button because that would enable players to avoid a gammon! And then you need to make sure that the software can distinguish between games where the loser refuses a double and has taken no men off the board and games ending in a gammon.
