Poker Showdown

A library for performing a Poker showdown

Setup

• The Library was built using .net standard 2.0
• The CLI application was built using .net core 2.2. In order to build, run & test. Please install the .Net Core 2.2 (v2.2.8) SDK at https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/2.2.
• Was not able to confirm, but if you're using VS2017 SDK v2.2.110 is the last version supported by VS2017.

Build

The fastest way to build, test and run the project is by...

1. open your favorite terminal & make sure dotnet sdk is avaiable (i.e. dotnet --version; version number should show up)
2. change directory to <path_to_repo>
3. execute dotnet clean then dotnet build to make sure solution builds
4. execute dotnet test to run the tests
5. execute dotnet run --project PokerHandShowdown.Cli to use the CLI application

CLI

• The CLI interface will loop through the creation process to add player hands.
  1. First, it will ask you to enter a name of the player
  2. Second, it will ask you to enter the player's hand
     1. The CLI represents a hand something like Ks-Qh-4c-10d-9s
        1. each card is delimited by -
        2. each card first expects the card value (2 -> 10 or J for Jack, Q for Queen, K for King, A for Ace) followed by the suit (s for Spade, h for Hearts, c for Clubs, d for Diamond)
  3. Once all the player hands have been entered and the creation loop has been terminated, the showdown will happen and a winner will be displayed
