Pyker is a Desktop Poker Texas Hold'Em game made with Python and Pygame! This is a hobby project still under development, and I intend to create more features to play this game.
Right now, the game has a very simple interface and it has a dummy AI which just makes choices for the bots at random. The idea is that in the future different ways to implement a Poker AI will be explored.
The implementation of the game rules should be finished, but it is not excluded (actually, it's probable) that some bugs are present! Poker presents a lot of edge cases that can be spotted only with accurate tests!
The code probably needs to be refactored and tested (especially the part concerning the interface).
You are free to fork this project to make something cool with it. Examples are:
- Making your own interface.
- Making it a multiplayer game.
- Create your own AI.
- And much more!
Feel free to open issues with the question tag if you have any doubts.
Thanks to Michael Myers for the beautiful 8-Bit poker deck, available on itch.io.
To get a local copy up and running follow these simple example steps.
- Python 3.10
Create a Python virtual environment and install the requirements using pip.
pip install -r requirements.txt
Global imports have been used in this project. To run it, execute:
python -m pyker.gui.interface
from the project root.
- Add more unit tests
- Refactor the game code
- Refactor the interface code
- Implement an AI
See the open issues for a full list of proposed features (and known issues).
Contributions are what make the open source community such an amazing place to learn, inspire, and create. Any contributions you make are greatly appreciated.
Currently, I wish to work on the AI of the game, as an exercise, so I won't accept any PR regarding the AI (but things could change).
Interface improvements, tests, refactoring and documentation are welcome! If you wish open an issue and we could discuss about it. Maybe I will open new branches for the implementation of new features, but I also wait for your suggestions if you wish to help me with this project. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee that in the future I will be very active, sicne this is just a little side project.
If you have a suggestion that would make this better, please fork the repo and create a pull request. You can also simply open an issue with the tag "enhancement".
Don't forget to give the project a star! Thanks again!
