vB Texas Hold 'Em
 

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...
[players]5[/players][betlimit]100[/betlimit][wild]2,AS[/wild]

Next, await joins.

User posts in thread: [join]USERNAME[/join]

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:
[bet]10[/bet] 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.

That would actually rock!

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..

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.
