I am looking for any "prior art" in generating a poker game. I am
*not* looking for a networked game which allows multiple players to
compete, but a program which allows simulation of multiple players
against a single human player.
Any algorithms, etc, would be useful. The object is to be able to tune
each player in the following ways:
a) skill - ability to evaluate the value of the cards available
and at some future date to learn from past performance
the characteristics of the other players
b) style - meek thru aggressive, willingness to bluff
c) luck - a +/- tweak on the chances of improving a hand
Any info on past programs of this type would be useful. I have seen a
game which was just a dealer to connect people over a network, but it
didn't play. What I want is a way to get in a quick game on my lunch
hour, for fun and practice.
