Bug#277084: ITP: poker-eval -- poker hand evaluator library
Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
* Package name : poker-eval
Version : 122.0
Upstream Author : Loic Dachary <loic@gnu.org>, Michael Maurer <mjmaurer@users.sourceforge.net>
* URL : http://download.gna.org/underware/debian/ (look for files with poke-eval in the name)
* License : GPL
Description :
This package is a free (GPL) toolkit for writing programs which
simulate or analyze poker games.
Who is the target audience?
Mostly programmers. The programs are all written in C, but as time
goes on, bindings may be added for Java, VB, Perl, or other languages.
There are Java Native Interface (JNI) wrappers around some of the
library functions. There are some demo programs which illustrate the
features of the library, but which are not (at this time) flexible
enough to be used without modification by end-users except for the
most basic of simulations.
Where did it come from?
Cliff Matthews wrote and released (under GPL) a fast poker hand
evaluator several years ago, and this code is derived from that work.
It has been improved over the years, with contributions from Mat
Hostetter, Keith Miyake, Brian Goetz, Michael Maurer, and others.
Most recently, the code has been repackaged and cleaned up
substantially, so it is more suitable for general use and extension to
other types of poker games. This code is now maintained by Brian
Goetz (brian@quiotix.com) and improvements and suggestions can be sent
to him. The latest version of the software can be found at
www.pokersource.org.
