Products that do what Multi-player poker on SSH – ssh cli.poker does

my motivation - i was looking for some CLI games to play when the agent is working and this idea came into my head. this was when fable was available for 3 days, so seemed like a good use of tokens to try and build this out. spent some time polishing to finally get this out. the public matchmaking connects you on a first come first serve basis to anyone else in the world. there is a bot that will connect in-case a match is not found for 45 seconds. games last about 5-10 minutes (tournament style fast paced). and each game impacts your rating (glicko-2). so they're quite nice for idle time…

    For the past year my friend and I have been building a dead simple offline poker app that we actually wanted to spend time in. No constant pop-ups. No account needed. No waiting for tables. No fake felt or neon. Just free poker against intelligent AI opponents with helpful in-game stats. We’ve started offline, but are working towards online-multiplayer, tutorials for new players, and more in-game stats. Would love your feedback!

    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 Hacker News! My friend and I [1] would like to share with you something we did this week-end. We really like the idea of game jams like the Ludum Dare, and we’d like to participate, but it’s often complicated for us, as we are often limited by the rules inherent to this kind of competition: we have to be available at specific dates, and the rules doesn’t always work for us. For example: if you want to participate as a team in a Ludum Dare compo, you have 72h instead of 48h, and you are not required to publish your code. We realized that what we really like is: - To work together. - The…

    I started off with a simple goal: port the game Soldat to Typescript. I ended up not only with the game, but with a full system to train AI bots to play my own game, building a neural net to train new bot AIs from tens of thousands of simulated matches with different strategies. It also runs live all the time on my website and has a news dashboard and you can replay any game exactly. It all was a very fun way to dig into Fable's capabilities. The bill if I had done this with API billing? Nearly $2000.

    Hey HN, I made https://linkians.com which is a game where all the action and state is contained in the url. The game involves taking care of little pets (emojis) that live in your url bar. Kind of like tamagotchi or sims. Feed them, play with them, and watch out for enemies! There's no server, just emojis in the url and client-side logic. Any linkians url using the supported emojis is a valid game state so you can save your game, or type out your own url and send it to a friend. I'd appreciate any feedback.

    Hello HackerNews, I'm Kaamkiya, the author of this program. It's a collection of minimal games made for terminals, like 2048, Hangman, and even two player games like pong. They're all text-based, but they can actually be quite fun. If you want to test it right now, you can do this: go run github.com/Kaamkiya/gg@latest I started this project out of boredom, honestly. I was bored, and when I'm bored I like to code or play video games. So I coded video games. I kept them really minimal though, because I'm not great at gamedev and thought it would be easier to contribute to text-based…

    Hi HN, I’ve released a new version of chess-tui, a Rust terminal UI for playing live games against Lichess opponents. The update includes a cleaner TUI, better performance, improved keybindings, and smoother real-time integration with the Lichess API. It’s designed as a simple, fast way to play chess without leaving the terminal. Repo:https://github.com/thomas-mauran/chess-tui Feedback and bug reports are welcome. Happy to answer questions!

    Most people like free things, some people like games. If you like 'm both then this might be something for you! I've made a website, a Discord bot, a Twitter bot, and a bunch of scrapers that roam the web to find free games out there. Just so that they can be found in one place by other people. I'm running this on my own server, so I'm curious as to how much traffic it can handle. The Discord and Twitter bots run on a fixed interval, so that shouldn't be much of a bottleneck. You can check it out online at: https://www.freegameisafreegame.com On Twitter at…

    Hey I am Ben and I have built a slack app for scrum poker (slack.thisiseffort.io). You can anonymously vote on software development tasks within slack, it is used by a few remote software developments teams currently and I am keen for more feedback. It is very easy to start a voting session using the /effort command, followed by the title of your task. This then invites everyone in the channel to start voting anonymously, ensuring that no one influences anyone else. Really keen for more feedback and it is also free to use! Enjoy. Ben

    I enjoy playing poker with my friends, but I have to admit, I’m a classic ‘fish’, particularly after a beer! I’ve created a web app where fellow fish can practice their poker skills for free against bots. www.pokerpupil.com As a homage to old computer games, I’ve added a boss/panic screen: press ‘b’ to open a fake spreadsheet. (Desktop web only) My hope is us fellow fish can rise up and take down our next home game. I built the game in Flutter, using this tutorial as a base: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSN2hBf8D5Q Things I liked about Flutter: (1) Components are fun…
