24 alternatives to Classic Video Poker v2

Classic Video Poker (CVP) is a lightweight, browser-based retro video poker game which originally hit the front page of HN on Oct 4, 2023: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37763098 I've finally managed to release version 2. The delay was mostly due to fear of upsetting the user base with breaking changes. Version 2 includes: - Frictionless accounts: added registration so you can save progress but no personal info or email. - Deep play stats: Track lifetime RTP (Return to player), max win/loss streaks, winning hand counts and more. - Leaderboards & Cash out: Cash out…

    I'm a Unity 3D refugee, certified expert, started in 2005 when it was a two man-band with Joachim and David. I've been lucky enough to make a good living out of Unity with my own consultancy over the years making data visualisation applications (Wind Energy) and innovation projects (Visualising accounting data for Wolters Kluwer etc.). Godot is pretty amazing in my opinion. Wrote this game over a few days and was productive in Godot basically instantly. I couldn't get up and running in Unreal despite trying a few times. It's my ambition to start a niche agency developing 80's style games of…

    I'm the original author of DD Poker, a Java-based computer game that ran on Mac, Linux and Windows and originally sold in stores in physical boxes. I shut down the backend servers in 2017 but the game is still functional and people can still play each other online even though the central lobby and find-a-game functionality no longer work. I've been asked over the years to release the source code, especially during the pandemic, and again this year. I finally got motivated to clean up the code and put it out there. The code is 20 years old and uses some ancient Spring, log4j, Wicket and other…

    I wanted to see how difficult it would be to build a web app using a sub-$300 android smartphone. Decided to build a fun predictions website where you could bet virtual (not real) money on predictions made by others, and also make predictions of your own. Building it turned out to be considerably easier and more fun than I anticipated. Primary tools used were: # QuickEdit as the mobile code editor (Note: the free version of the QuickEdit app is riddled with ads, it shows an advert each time you close a tab, but it unfortunately had the best UI of the 3 or so Android code editors I tested.…

    Hello, I'm uberf1sh, software engineer (I've previously worked for Amazon and Fortnite, though obviously none of the following as to do with my previous employers). My cousin introduced me to online poker in 2008 and I loved it instantly, playing $2 cash games for fun and glory. Though I was initially pretty bad, I had a lot of fun playing. Indeed, in 2008 the game was really amazing because it was so chaotic and full of crazy plays, your blood was pumping before even sitting at the table. Fast forward I was able to make $1000 a day in Vegas, spending it all on sneakers, restaurants and some…

    Hi HN! Poker is a game of math and probability. It's really important to understand your chance of winning at all points in the hand. I built this tool which quizzes you on your hand equity in a variety of spots. You can adjust the number of opponents and the street to practice in different scenarios. Get instant feedback on your answers and quickly improve your math instincts. I made sure it works great on both desktop and mobile, so you can practice at home or on the go when you want to kill a few minutes. https://www.pokerpercent.com/equity Would love to hear what you think…

    http://playbitpoker.com Hey, this is my first startup project and I'm pretty excited. I've got to the point where I feel I've got something solid, and I don't know what to do next. I haven't had masses of people using it and testing it with the test-network bitcoins. I have tested it a fair bit with friends and it seems there's no major problems. What should I do? Is this a minimum viable product? Should I try and promote it while it's still in testing, or should I switch over to using real bitcoins before doing that? I'd love to hear any suggestions you might have. P.S. I had…
