The aim of this project is to provide the necessary bet API's which are sufficient to play poker from the command line. The initial draft of the game written by jl777 is here.
Basically, there exists three entities in the game DCV, BVV and Player. The role of DCV and BVV is to assist in deck shuffling, dealing and fair play of the game. To test the API's written from the player perspective we run the DCV and BVV nodes, just to start with below or the steps to run DCV and BVV.
cd
git clone https://github.com/sg777/bet.git
cd bet
apt install make
cd
cd bet/privatebet
./bet dcv
(ipc:///tmp/bet.ipc) bound
(ipc:///tmp/bet1.ipc) bound
cd
cd bet/privatebet
./bet dcv
(ipc:///tmp/bet.ipc) bound
(ipc:///tmp/bet1.ipc) bound
Right now all the nodes communicating through IPC, ipc:///tmp/bet.ipc is an uplink channel{PUSH-PULL} between players to DCV, where as ipc:///tmp/bet1.ipc is the downlink channel{PUB-SUB} between DCV and Players.
Using create-player one can create the player then create deck using create-deck. Once if the player and deck creation is done, player can join the table using join-req.
Once the player joins the table and table is filled, DCV asks for player initialization(i.e deck shuffling), for that first player blinds the deck using blind-deck and sends the blinded-deck to DCV using 'player-init'.
Once after the DCV receives the initialization messages from all the players it provides DCV blinded deck and passed to BVV, then BVV blinds it further and provides the BVV blinded deck to the players. Player by using dcv-init, bvv-init and dcv-bvv-init API's stores the blinded deck Informationation values received from DCV and BVV, which further used to reveal the deck of cards.
The bet-api documentation is here
Any feedback, suggestions on the API's or new API's which should be present inorder to play the poker from command line, please raise an issue/suggestion or message me(myid: sg777) directly or post in the #CHIPS channel on discord.
