texasholdemgameengine's Issues

Implement minimum bet and raise amount

You have to at least double the previous bet in no-limit Texas Holdem when you make a raise. The least you can bet is the same amount as the big blind.

E.x.lets assume the blinds are 50/100 in a no limit game. Player 1 who is first to act after the big blinds (pre flop) raises to 300. With 100 blinds this means that the actual raise is 200. The minimum that player 2 (Wood) could raise to is therefore 500 (300+200).

The rules are the same for all betting rounds. But in each new betting round the minimum bet is always goes back to the same size as the big blind.

There is no document for how to use

Why there is no any tutorial scene, or tutorial document ?
I cannot use that nuget package because of it.

100% test coverage

StraightFlush optimization proposal

only 1 flush possible - line 128 FirstOrDefault and remove the following loop

Full house issue

should return full house
if threeOfAKindTypes.Count == 2
with 3 cards of the higher type and 2 of the lower

Straight optimization proposal

better list clear than new list - line 97

Implement showdown

When no player folds on the river, show both players' cards

Comparing kickers

lines 69, 70 - think should be ordered descending

Full house evaluation

Invalid

Proposal on speeding hand checks a bit more

1st - every Lambda where select and orderBy - select first - lines 112 & 140
2nd - split
if flush { straightFlush(just check for straight) or flush }
else { all the rest }

• this way skips 4OfAKind & Full house checks: if flush available - no higher rank possible
  or..... just add some flag to skip these checks if flush available

Create NuGet package

Some projects in the solution are not loading correctly

The imported project "C:\Program Files (x86)\MSBuild\Microsoft\Portable\v5.0\Microsoft.Portable.CSharp.targets" was not found. Confirm that the path in the declaration is correct, and that the file exists on disk.

Proposal on comparing equal hands by rank type

why not make 1 method comparing all cards if ranks are equal and returning result as soon as possible - hands should come with highest ranked cards first - it looks like it is so - not all of them - may be done easily - straight has to be reversed
in fact it may be a loop after the 2 ifs - not a separate method - me to do it?

question

can this code help me to create my project in unity?

Increase hands per level (blinds raise)

Maybe decrease the number of games
