vB Texas Hold 'Em

[ThePimp]

I would LOVE to see this hack!

Here's the idea:
Using the UCash / UShop point system, a Texas Hold 'Em style Poker thread would ROCK!

Maybe have a "Bot" user as the dealer.

Starting a game:
User starts a game with "POKER-GAME" as the beginning of the thread title... they can put anything else after it... like "POKER-GAME: BigDaddy's Table" or something.

Next in the thread, they define the # of players and betting limits, wilds etc...
51002,AS

Next, await joins.

User posts in thread: USERNAME

Once join requests = [players]... the table is closed for new players.

Then the bot kicks in, and deals cards to everyone, and shows the dealer cards.

Betting rounds then go into play:
10 from each user... Bot will tell the user how much is needed to stay in, as well as post the amounts when each user places a bet.

Player with the highest hand wins the pot.

I know the concept needs a little refining, but this is something that I think would take off like a rocket.

Let me know your thoughts or ideas on this. I'd be highly interested in seeing this Mod for vb3 if someone wants to take the time to build it.

someone do this please.

or adapt a flash version for the V3 arcade

Yeah, I thought a Flash one would be cool as well, however, when I thought it over, a "Thread" based version would be easier to integrate & code, as well, it would increase post counts, and promote spectator activity in the thread.

A Flash Hold 'Em would be nice though too.

[ThePimp]

Bump

[Wasim]

That would actually rock!

[Brad]

Having it in a thread would be to messy imho. When you play that game there is a lot of keep up with and I don't think a thread is the best place to have it..

[why-not]

I have idea on how to do this, no Flash, Java, just straight HTTP PUSH, using httprequest(); via a Forum PHP script. It would support all the modern browsers. I have the javascript end of it done, something I made for a multi user instant messaging mod! It would use the same rules so converting it to accept the different elements for a card game would be easy. We would need to create the images, (2) per card left/right so we can layer them, then the table template would have to be made to support different player amounts, ie:2 player, 4 player, 6 player type templates, then also another set of the same but just used for people that want to watch the game (no betting controls)!

If someone or a group of people want to develop this, I will help, I won't do it by myself as I don't need this sort of thing, but I can pcture it in my head and it would be a pretty cool time killer, you could even tie into uShop / uCash. It would really be secure to, no way anyone could cheat, because it would be controled on the server via scripts added to vBulletin!

I can supply the card graphics (mini cards) for it as well the table graphics.

a multi player version of Texas Hold 'Em Poker would have to be one of the greatest games you could add to a forums arcade

Anybody willing to throw some cash into the pot for a coder to carry out this mod?

[Nick0r]

I would, but only for a multiplayer flash/java poker game.

[popowich]

Anybody willing to throw some cash into the pot for a coder to carry out this mod?

Yes, for a nice looking multiplayer game that my registered members can play.

-Raymond

[wolfyman]

yep yep

[Deimos]

This is a good idea

[mathias]

Ill throw some money in

[Reeve of shinra]

I wouldnt mind contributing some cash to the endevour if it was needed. I'd be interested in a similarly themed blackjack actually.

How would one code a multiplayer anyway? I could think of something for a single player but not multi.

[wolfyman]

Ok, assuming everyone who voiced an affirmative on chipping in cash for the project can throw in a minimum of $20 - we're up to $120 so far. How much is this going to cost and how are we going to handle the final product? Make it free for all and consider ourselves contributors to society, or can we put a small link (maybe a rotating link at the bottom of the game, during play?) to our sites? (<-I really like that idea :D)

Other questions - how much is everybody planning on contributing?
Who is going to hold the cash? (we need an escrow type thing, I think)

I'll probably come up with more, let's bounce those ideas around for a moment.

[skorzguy]

Texas Holdem would be awesome. I would pay for it if someone sold it. Is there currently anyone who sells any type of software as this to integrate with vbulletin?

was I completely off base? Or did I write in white font? ;)

[NxTek]

I'll have my programming team quote this. It doesn't seem too hard.

[Trigunflame]

was I completely off base? Or did I write in white font? ;)

I will do it for free, I need some volunteers to help with the setup, rules, and graphics.

[TomUK]

This sounds like a nice idea, I'm going to have a go at making one :).

[NxTek]

I can help with graphics, rules, etc. Anything but the actual programming. Lemme know what you need Trigunflame.

[Llamaman]

This sounds like a VERY good mod. I would defenetly contribute some $$$ if needed.

[boo.3]

yeah i've gotten tons of people asking for Texas Hold 'em for the arcade but a online one with AI or somthing would be just awesome

[twoseven]

so house always wins right?

Lookin good around here, let's not let this die! I'm subscribed to this thread and wiling to contribute.

[ThePimp]

Wow... A good response to this. Bump. I can help out with graphics, or something.

[nick!]

I'd like to see this MOD too, I have a huge Texas Hold'em Forum it would be great.

[wolfyman]

Thanks

Chet

No offense Trigunflame.....







but my experience says that something that has been kicked around this long will not get done for free as soon as I would like to see it.

Gentlemen, I made a post earlier stating I would like to see contributing members get credit via a rotating link during gameplay. Send me a PM stating the amount you would be willing to donate to the fund and the link you would like to have in the game and I will get the game built. I know I only have a small amount of posts here - if anybody worries about credibility, I can provide plenty. I'm the get-it-done guy, and I've been subscribed to this thread for long enough. Let's get it done.

[why-not]

Hi

I have a 5 player Java/Flash version coming some time this week. Poker 5/7 card/Black Jack. I'll try to get a demo up maybe tuesday next week, that should give me enough time to get the admin panel finished and also finish the scoring control. You can have multi tables and people can view the games going on, but they can not chat with the player, only players can chat with each other. The Java code will not be open source, but I will give the fla and php scripts to monitor the betting. You can not use this for real gambling, and it only can be used for vB boards because I wrote the session control into the Java Server! I figured that would be the only way that I could control access to it, so I know it is used only on vB forums!

[Lizard King]

Can this be integrated with ucash ?

[kobescoresagain]

lizard king that is exactly what I was thinking.

[BabesAndStuff]

when is this coming out ive been waiting patiently for it :)

I have yet to recieve one PM with a dollar amount in it. Come on guys, there's enough of us who want this done to make it very reasonable on the individual. How much can it cost? $200? 400? How much is that between 10 people?

It's nothing, I spend more than that drinking on a Tuesday night. Let's go!

[chet]

No offence wolfyman but you are only 36 posts in, I myself know nothing about you or what you have coded in the past

I'm willing to throw $40 in if their are 10 others who want it or $20 if 20 users want it, but I'm not willing to throw the whole amount in

[wolfyman]

None taken. I'm not offering to code the thing, I'm offering to organize things. And I'm right there with you on the cash, that puts us up to $40 at least, possibly $80. Personally I don't care who gets it done, I have money to throw in the pot to see it happen though. Anybody else?

[n3ol3o]

would like to see this as well, any chance of it ever happening?

[chet]

50/50 with a 10% chance :ermm:

I think more users need to commit to the pot before this will get looked at

[wolfyman]

anybody who comes to this thread after this post, if you're interested - subscribe to the thread. Half the problem is nobody checks back often enough to get anything going.

I'm still in for the $$$ stated previously, and will be unless I get a bug up my butt one day and decide to just do it myself.

[amykhar]

Speaking as a coder, I avoid requests with a bunch of people bumping the idea like the plague. Thread bumpers are a royal pain in the patooty to support as users. In general, they are impatient and they don't read.

We coders generally troll this forum looking for ideas when we get bored. We dig deep and look for ANYTHING that looks worthwhile to do. No need to bump. If it's feasible and worth doing, it will get done by somebody who has the time and inclination to do it.

^^^makes perfect sense. Should we ever get around to doing this, I would suggest that we start a thread, pool our ideas into it, and pick what we all want. Then we select one person to act as... what's the word... escrow? Foreman? When he is satisfied, he pays the programmer and the rest of us just deal with it. Everybody wins.

[mathias]

I also would put money into this if someone is serius about getting it done...

[popowich]

Hello,

If you are a programmer interested in this project please contact me to discuss the plugin details and cost of the programming work. Thank you.

Just a repost for me - I got money on it as well.

[JPQuiceno]

so where is this demo for the java multiplayer poker that guy said he made earlier?

me too.. had some money to put into this texas hold'em

[phonexpo]

ah sure this would be good............ bump ;)

[Dollah]

do we know of a release date for this i would definately buy this one

[wolfyman]

it's been kicked around for ages, nobody ever found a programmer willing to do it I think....

[rurbaniak]

I'd love to see this mod as all of you would. Did anyone try getting a coder from http://www.getafreelancer.com/

You can post there and see what coders will do it for, and there is not commitment. There's enough interested people here that I'm sure it would remain quite inexpensive.

I'd post it myself, but I'm ne to VB and don't know what it has to offer yet. But if some one want's to type up a description, I'd be happy to post it up on there.

[phonexpo]

Here's a Java game for a mobile phone. Maybe someone can edit it some way.

Texas Hold em (http://phonexpo.net/Software%20Applications/Nokia%20Symbian%20Series%2060%20Applications/TexasHoldem.jar)

[[email protected] vbmenu_register("postmenu_903208", true);]

I would like it also. And would put in good money for it.

Im thinking poker room using eBuX/Ucash would be the best mod ever...

[VerkroostJ]

I would put money in for the above.

[[email protected] vbmenu_register("postmenu_905554", true);]

between us we have a lot of money willing to be but into this, anyone who can coe up with this will be a rich person :)

[rurbaniak]

I just posted a job here for this MOD: http://www.getafreelancer.com/projects/PHP/Vbulletin-Texas-Hold-Mod.html

We'll see if any coders are interested!?

[chet]

Good Move, let us know how much it comes in at and I'm sure we can all chip in

Chet

[mathias]

looks like someone can do it... I will chip in as well

[rurbaniak]

Ok guys, I'm talking to someone from getafreelancer.com regarding making this mod, so respond if you are interested.

Also, list what your looking for in a Texas Hold 'em game.

* Multi-player
* Works with either Ebux/Ucash

etc, etc..

Give me some feedback.

[mathias]

I think it needs its own money.... but a ranking system, tourny, and toplist?

also can do more than one table at a time.... also you can pm me or email me how much each person should chip in.

I would contribute to this as well.

I installed a type of poker table on my site your more than welcome to test it out.... its pretty neat

That would be great if it would use VB's database but without it then it's no use. I don't want to make people register for another site.... I was excited for a moment..... :D

yea I agree about registering twice but if there was a way to use this and the output info into vbulletin database... but I been searching for a texas holdem script everywhere and it looks pretty tough to do....

the company that provides the software states very plainly that they wil not integrate it into any other database. They are offering the service as a way to collect email addresses, otherwise there would be more to it.

[mathias]

there is its a paid service.... but just throwing it out there. I don't work for them... I hoping for a solution just like everyone else..

[[email protected] vbmenu_register("postmenu_911963", true);]

the bids look promising, i thinks is must have- vb user integration and also ubux/ucash integration. There should be the option to create tables use passwords and for users to do this also. this would be the best mod ever, I am willing to pay for a chunk of it :) once you pay for it do you get the whole product? can you re-distribute it?

[wolfyman]

/me hops on the bandwagon, waves money.
