Hello people, I want to make online Nil Poker (new poker variant) software. By that I mean online poker site where people can play against each other Nil Poker. I am talking about PLAY-MONEY software(not real money). I do not know anything about programming so I will take all the help I can get. I will wrote more detailed questions in next post.Thank you for all the help in advance.

First post will be just about Nil Poker Rules so everybody would have better understandings of what I am asking.

Nil Poker has almost the same rules as poker (52-card deck). The only difference between playing poker (52-card deck) and Nil Poker is that there are 13 Nil Cards added to common deck of playing cards (52 cards) in Nil Poker (all together there is 65 cards; Nil Poker Playing Cards). All 13 Nil Cards look the same. Nil Cards are meaningless cards. Nil Cards have no value (blank cards). Nil cards can not make any combination except from Nil Quads (4 or more nil cards). Nil Quads are more valuable than any flush and less valuable than any fullhouse. Every card is better than Nil Card (2 high is more valuable than Nil Card). All the other rules (blinds, dealer, betting rounds,…) are the same as in poker (52-card deck). You can play any poker variant with Nil Poker Playing Cards: Nil Hold´em, Nil Omaha,…

New Nil Poker combination:
Nil Quads - Four (4) or more nil cards.

Nil Poker Hand Ranking:
… < Flush < Nil Quads < Full House < …

This is example of what Nil Card looks like:



I hope I posted my questions in the right subforum...

Here are some of the questions...

1.) Is there any free script availible online for simple online software(do not know if this is correct word; but I hope you understand what I mean).Or at least something similar to this? So I could just twist it? If not, is this expensive? I would like to make very simple online nil poker software, so that everybody will be able to try Nil Poker online.

2.) If there is any mentioned script (or something similar)... That means this is written in some kind of computer language? So this script can be changed? If I do understand this, there has to be some kind of random number generator that picks different cards from the deck? So I need to add 13 Nil Cards to this database (deck)?

3.) If I am correct until now, the second thing there is needed to be done is to add new poker hand ranking. There is probably some kind of database for poker hand rankings in this script? So I need to add Nil Quads in?

4.) All the other things stays the same?

5.) Is that all that it needs to be done? Am I completly wrong with everything? Am I at least looking in the right direction? If not, how else can this be done? Is there more simple way to do this? I really do not know anything about programming…. Thank you for all the answers. Will take all the help I can get.

I do not know if this software subforum is the right subforum for my question... Sorry for that... I have opened thread here....programming subforum

The forum is fine. It's just that you're that much out of touch with reality that nobody replies.

I know this sounds impossible for person without any programming knowledge to do…

Generally speaking, I can hire someone to do this, but it would be a lot better if I would understand everything about writting program (or at least some things about programming),… For me, this would be very handy in the future; I have a lot of amazing plans (most of them are not poker related)…

For example, if I would understand programming very good, I would understand better what I am paying programmer to do (If I would decide this is the best option for me)… or how much am I paying…. And why am I paying this much…. and so on…

I have some kind of »deadline« (not very close date from today, but still…) on this nil poker matter also,…

Thank you for all the help in advance...

You need to learn some programming!

My advice would be to try Unity game engine and it's forum. It wouldn't be the best choice for a card game, although it can certainly do the job. More importantly, there are many free assets and scripts which you can piece together to make something work with only little knowledge.

There are asset packs for card games on Unity for sure because I have seen them. Also lots of C# programming examples for various card games.

OP, it sounds like you know pretty much nothing about programming, and are hoping to find software where you can make a few tweaks without any programming knowledge - it's not going to happen.

Fair enough. If you want to learn about programming, you should...learn about programming. To do that, you need to start checking out online resources and do a lot more reading before asking a lot of general questions. The Programming forum would be the place for questions specific to this, but again, I'd do some reading there first, probably starting here:

http://forumserver.twoplustwo.com/19...urces-1094020/

As you learn, you may have some more specific programming questions to ask people which could be appropriate for that forum. In this forum, you'd want to stick with questions that are specific to poker software, not programming in general. Hopefully that makes sense.

Hello, Big Vern.

Yes, I need to learn some programming.

I have to thank you for taking your time and helping me. I have just checked unity - game engine site. It is amazing.

Hello, Bobo Fett. Thank you for taking your time and thank you for trying to help me with my last "problem" with new poker variant.

Yes, I have to learn some programming. Thank you for giving me a link - where to start learning.

And let the learning begin.....
