IN-GAME Poker Program

[Pyr0]

So i was thinking of making money world of warcraft and then i came up with this idea, it might seems very silly but if it works it would be heck alot of fun.

I was thinking of a in-game poker tournement, so therefore you would need a program that random shuffles the cards like for example on partypoker.com
Then it sends like random card to Player A, Other cards to Player B, etc etc.

(The program whisper the players their cards, like [As][8d]--This hand would be a Ace spades + 8 diamond--)

Then you can have like poker tournements, 5g to join(they pay that to you), blind like 10g, and everything else like real poker. they all give the gold to you, and you give it to the winner. Remember to try this first with friends, else you probably get banned for in-game gambling lol's.

So if anyone can make such a program, uhm...then...plz make it!
If not, ill start working on my programming skills right away !

That would make a sick ammount of gold on addict realms

Seems it could be pretty cool if you could get it to work. I prefer and in-game Chess program though. But of course, that's just me. =)

This has the potential to be very cool. I think you'd need an interface and such, because whispering seems very ineffective and could just go very badly, but maybe not.

A program that works for all peoples in a party/raid group.

Sounds cool, keep working on it and I hope it goes well

[Pyr0]

Well as my idea was.

1 guy with the addon.
He is the dealer.
In his addon there is a interface like:

Player 1: "Player 1's name"
Player 2: "Player 2's name"
Player 3: "Player 3's name"
Etc.

Program deals cards randomly, 2 cards to player one, etc, whispers them.
And, dealer knows wich cards each person has, but the players themself dont know what the other people have (therefore the whispering system). I think this should work.

i can picture this and it would be so cool if it worked

if only i continued with my LUA learnyness

[Camci]

I read in tla or what ever you can get banned for gambling in game money, cant remember were i saw it tho

[TehCore]

like uo gamers...

[MastaSlaya]

If you gamble ingame money thats invalid...you gamble everytime you buy something from the NPCs...what if the server rerolled and you lost it? i could think of some others i just dont feel like it..lol

[bishi]

The only thing i could see going wrong with this is people thinking ur cheating, that ur just giving good cards to a friend of urs to make him win, on the other hand if u did that u might make better gold : )

[piree]

Would be awesome, Leeching AV and playing poker, chess whatever

[Pyr0]

Well i think that u first have to play it with friends you know well and trust you. You play a few games and they see that everything is fair, then they will tell their friend that trust them and the word is spread: Player X has a poker program!

Trial account ftw btw 6):

There used to be a Texas Hold 'em AddOn, no idea if it's still around.
