Poker is doing nice progress. Been denting out bugs all day even till evening. I want to see this thing stable soon – and I don’t have much time left before my vacation starts.
I had a nice poker round on beta this evening with a few friendly players – I think poker is really gonna contribute to socializing. It’s much more entertaining to chat and play at the same time and without stress like during fort battles. Here are two new screenshots of an entertaining session:
As you can see, I also added some simple graphics. It’s for the artist who’s going to make the screendesign so whoever is going to do it knows what it’s going to look like about. At least this is roughly what I had in mind.
The game itself is running by now pretty smooth I would say. There are still issues left, but in general, it’s already pretty nifty. Had one crash this evening that took my 10k winning row away :(. But fixed that thing and improved performance a bit and it seems to run faster as well right now. The question is how it’ll behave on a large scale system with 2k players online. Could happen anytime that once we activate it we have to deactivate it instantly to prevent any damage. I hope that won’t happen though…
And I have to check if a straight starting with an ace is OK in poker (think so) – because if it’s “official”, I have to consider it in the logic (which I don’t do right now and it’ll “complificate” a few things a bit).
Wow its great it runs a lot smoother than before but the chat is broken. I type in something, press enter but nothing appears and no one responds. Also I would consider having chat on the other side of the box because it can get really confusing sometimes. In the future it would be great if there was a poker level and when hosting a table have the ability to adjust a minimum level to play and a maximum level (e.g Make a table +50 poker level and -60 poker level) But I think the game is pretty great and something to do while waiting for a job to be done or arrive somewhere.
I see you were playing with J-Wiz,
How’d you find him,He’s a friend of mine 🙂
Chat is going to be working fine (or better ;)) in the poker room after next update.
The log and the chat …. hmmmm. It somewhat belongs to each other. But I see your point :/.
Table config and additional play rules (tourneys) are … a bit in the future ;).
An J-Wiz seemed to be a nice fellow as far as I can tell 😉
thx zet, it looks al lot nicer 🙂
i believe is better the log box and the chat box to be in diferent place. You can’t chat if in a minute the box is full
If they are a bit further then please tell me that you will get a bet limit and tables sorted by them.
For example:
2-5$ limit
10-50$ limit
100-200$ limit
Limitless
Yes. I agree with classius there should be a buying in limit 😛
I have just one question – what kind of poker will be available? Texas, Omaha or different one?
its texas hold’em(because its the west)
