poker-network includes a poker server, a client library, an abstract user interface library and a client based on it.
The server deals the cards and checks the user actions using a poker game engine (poker-engine). It listens on a TCP/IP port and understands a poker-network specific protocol. The persistent informations (accounts, hand history etc.) are stored in a MySQL database. The server was designed and tested to gracefully handle 1000 simultaneous players on a single machine also running the MySQL server.
The client library implements the poker-network protocol for the client. It runs a poker-engine identical to the one used by the server and uses it to simplify the implementation of a client. For instance it creates an event indicating that the player lost position although the server does not send such a packet. A simple minded bot is provided as an example usage of the client library.
The abstract user interface library provides a framework based on the client library and suited to implement a user friendly client. A display is fed with events such as give seat S to player P or get amount A from side pot P to player P so that the rendering part of the user interface does not need to maintain contextual game information. A toolkit is fed with high level interaction actions such as ask login and password or display the following holdem tables. An animation module is fed with events that can trigger animations or sounds such as player P timeouted or player P wins the pot.
- Features may still be added
- The protocol is rarely changed (backwards compatible if possible)
- The classes API is not stable

python setup.py configure -s test.example=example
will set config.json['test']['example'] to example
python setup.py configure -b
will build the .in files
If this is your first installation, you need to fill the MySQL root user name and password in ${pkgsysconfdir}/poker.server.xml. It will be used to create the poker database and user.
