Notepad Poker (Beta)
« on: November 25, 2007, 07:07 AM »
Edit: Release 1.0 was made available last week. It even has it's own minisite.

Hey all

I'd be interested in any feedback on a beta of a new piece of software I've been working on - Notepad Poker.  It's a multiplayer poker game but completely text based.
The lowdown:

# Texas Hold 'Em
# Limit, No Limit or Pot Limit play.
# Fully configurable
# "Notepad" stealth mode
# All-ins, Side pots, multiple show-downs
# Chat to other players
# Bots
# Multiple language support

Download and screenshots here: (no ads or anything)

You can probably run the installerless zipped version if you have XP and have had the richtext control installed at some point in the past. It runs pretty well off a memory stick in this fashion.


Usage:

    * Requires a 'server' folder to be specified - this needs to be available to all players (i.e. Shared folder on network). 
    * If playing standalone just specify any local folder (eg. c:\temp)


Known Issues/limitations

    * Doesn't clean up the server folder
    * Bots aren't too smart yet
    * Beta version so it probably still has bugs...

Naturally, because it's a DV product it is Freeware. Enjoy :)

Hey,
Oh dear, found a big bug already - it won't run correctly from the shortcut created by the installer - you need to run it from the relevant install folder or create a new shortcut.
My bad - should've tested the installer version...

Cool. The only thing is that it's not designed for internet play - more LAN play.  It communicates via a flat-file database in a shared folder.
