Other Warcraft Poker

[Andrewgosu]

Took my all day, but here it is!

I finished the the automatically rotating(*) blinds and dealer.



(*)In poker, the small and big blind plus the dealer have to rotate each round.

hey andrew nice to see you working on this map, just a couple more ideas (bet your sick of me already):

Sit-and-Go Poker: Don't read below if you know what it is
Texas hold-em style. This is a type of poker where you pay a fee at the beginning of the game. You then get your chips as usual and play as usual, but the idea is, instead of the person left winning all of the chips value, people get money back if they come 1st, 2nd or 3rd. This is a percentage of all the fees. E.g. a 10 player SnG poker table starts, all pay in £1,000. The total fees is £10,000. 1st place gets 50% = £5,000. 2nd place gets 30% = £3000. 3rd place gets 10% = £1000. The house gets a 10% cut.

Showing the hands after the final part of betting:
I hate it when in games, especially online, it only shows the winner's hand or just what all players had. It would be cool if you could make it so that each hand is turned over one at a time and placed within the community cards, to show what hand is made(similar to what happens on casino royale), this gives a clearer indication of whose won and who had what.

The Sit-In idea is nice, though, I would need to implement a save/load system in order to pull this off.

Meaning, every player gets, lets say 10k chips to start and the amount he/she has at the moment the he/she leaves the game, will be saved.

(If you loose all your chips, you can refill.)


The showing hands idea is quite fabulous, I will try to implement it, too.

But firstly, I need to trigger a system for comparing the "cards"(*).



(*) The cards are actually special effects, so I can show the to local player, with an attached struct containing the size and suit of it.


P.S

bet your sick of me already

No!

You are a really valuable contributer to this map!

A Big Fat BUUUUUMP from me, how is the map going, what part are you on now?

You should add Blind Man's Bluff Poker as a type of Texas Hold em or a mini-game. You cant see your cards, but you can see everyone else's, its really cool to play.

I forgot about this idea, i played it only this week, it's very cool indeed.

 

[Andrewgosu]

That's a really nice mini-game idea!

Too bad I am currently quite ill, so computer no-no for me for a few days.

Can I just make a point that you might want to do a period saving system rather than when the player leaves, so that people who are doing really well with for example a million plus chips don't simply force quit Warcraft if they lose them all.

I'd like to add a few ideas to your proj; even I had no time to read
the full thread, sry.

First: Avatar ideas:
The Skeleton warrior: his dead face to me is a must
as it is kinda steotype look
The Druid: This should be a must also for the 'thinker' and
wise avatar type

Mini-game:
I really think there should be a mini-battle in this.
I mean, if you are loosing bad and angry with some
other player, you can just kick his ass in a mini-battle using your
own avatar! Really like the idea to see the guy you were playing
against in battle.

Also, I think this mini-games should have a contribution to the
player's game: maybe extra chips, or something; just a reward to
add competitivity and fun to the game.

Mood expression:
Would be really cool if you could use mood expressions to your avatar.
Could be placed in the skills area; and the intentions of it would be
completely up to the player: you could be trying to bluff, faking one,
cutting up tension, or just expressing with no real reason, just to conjuse enemies
These Expressions would play a short animation (that doesnt really need
to match the mood) and a colorfull frase like 'P1 is having a HEART ATTACK!'
Example:

Skill 1- Sad Expression
Skill 2- Disgusted.
Skill 3- Happy Guy expression :shades:
Skill 4- Too much botox or is that himself?
Skill 5- Tell a joke.
(that is actually my Favorite idea so far, a random joke
from a list made up; forum contributions? ^^ )


I did love the whole idea. Cant wait to play


Edit: Oh really sorry I just saw you are ill and cant acess the Pc for a while. Wish you fast recovery!
Best regards.

What are you intending to do?
What's done until now?
Did you improve the Skin(s)?
