PokerApp Current Work - updated 07/30/2007

PokerApp is now an open source project on SourceForge.

This page will focus on the development of PokerApp versions 1.00 and subsequent, since those are the versions which are moving to open source development.  I am still in the process of cleaning up the code and getting it ready for open source.   As of now, I have enough done to get PokerApp up and running - but it can only play Texas or Omaha Hold'em and no AI opponents are ready yet.   You can donwload the code via the SVN repository, but I do not yet have the official v1.00 release packaged and ready.  It is still being worked on and will be completed soon.

PokerApp Future Plans

Big Projects

• Create a legitimate computer opponent

  • This is always in the works.  I need to spend a serious amount of time to get a computer opponent who is even remotely competitive..

• Improve Security

  • I am not a hacker so its hard for me to decide if PokerApp is secure or not.  PokerApp suffers by being written in Java - which is relatively easy to reverse engineer - and therefore find weaknesses in if you know what you are doing.  I think I did a descent job making it difficult to cheat by not allowing players to see each other hands and stuff, but I need to sit down and figure out exactly how secure PokerApp is.  If anybody has any suggestions or knows a way to compromise PokerApp, please let me know.

• Tournament Mode

  • Add some sort of way to setup online tournaments with PokerApp.  The host sets up the tournament, waits for the seats to fill up and the tournament starts.  I'm thinking all kinds of multi-table ability and options here.  This would be a very big project, but I'm thinking about it.

   

Minor Upgrades

• PokerApp help included in the application

  • Rather than have the help always online, I will eventually get around to packaging it in the download and adding a simple viewer to PokerApp so it can be accessed via them menus
