This is a direct request from a reader related to some of my past Poker engine work, so if you want a .NET post, then catch me later. The primary focus of the question was the design and architecture that is instituded by the larger poker sites in order...

Card Games: Testing the Poker Coder (a short before I start back into the math)...

Testing the poker coder is actually fairly fun. We know quite a bit about the sample data, and we know exactly how many combinations there are. So let's take a look at some naive approaches. for(int i = 0; i < 52; i++) { for(int j = 0; j < 52; j...

Solitaire .NET will be parking at www.Games4dotnet.com, the first actual game to get released...

It'll still be another few days off, since I want to integrate some decent graphics into the application, but Solitaire .NET will be the first game launched on G4... It has been a long time in the coming, and I finally said the hell with it and we are...

A quick view of the CardManager class playing Solitaire... and it still plays Poker as well ;-)

Establishing a protocol for the networkable poker I'll be adding to over the next month or so.

Hopefully the diagram comes out okay over RSS. I'll be using the diagram to discuss adding network support to the basic poker engine discussed in the webcast. From what you can see all of the green areas have already been completed and are part of my...
