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...
[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.

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.

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!
