poker_hand_checker_sinatra

This is a Sinatra-based web application that evaluates and ranks poker hands.

Getting Started

Prerequisites

  • Ruby
  • Bundler (install via gem install bundler)

Local Development

  1. Run bundle install to install dependencies.
  2. Run rackup config.ru to start the server.

Visit http://localhost:9292 in your web browser to view the application.

Usage

Enter a poker hand (e.g. "AH 2D 3C 4C 5D") into the form on the web page and click 'Check hand'. The application will return the name of a hand.

Tests

  • Run unit tests with bundle exec rspec.
  • Check for linting and style issues with bundle exec rubocop.

Process Thoughts

I believe that using Rails for such a small application would be overkill, I am therefore using Sinatra, to proceed incrementally, first working on the backend, and later on I will simply add a front end to it.

I'm using test driven development to build this app.
