Beat The Texan - Game website now up

The website dedicated purely to the game Beat The Texan is now up and running.  It can be found at www.paulspokerproject.co.uk/BeatTheTexan.  The same two AI poker players are on there and are pretty successful having won 22 of the 40 games played so far.

Beat The Texan's improved UI

The user interface for Beat The Texan has been improved so that everything is now driven by button clicks rather than a combination of button clicks and text boxes.  I feel it is more slick now and it "feels" nicer to play.

I have also made some improvements to the interface so it is now clearer how much money has been bet.

New screenshot:

So far The Texan has won half of the games he has played.  So that AI seems to be developing nicely.

Tests are being carried out all the time to generate better poker AI for The Texan.  As soon as the improvements are available, I will post here to let you know about it.

Beat The Texan - Beta 1 version available

I am pleased to announce that the first beta version of Beat The Texan is finally available.

It can be found at: www.paulspokerproject.co.uk/testgame/test.html.  In this beta version The Texan plays one of two evolved poker strategies.  In subsequent versions I hope to add even more different evolved strategies.

If you have any questions about this version, please contact me at: paul@paulspokerproject.co.uk.

In the next month or so I plan to develop the Beat The Texan official site which should be available prior to Beat The Texan's Facebook release.

Beat The Texan - Minor UI changes and progress info

Hi

I realized it has been a while since I last posted so I thought I would put up some info about how I have been getting on.

Here is the latest screen shot from Beat The Texan:


The text is now white making it more visible and the your best hand is displayed under your cards.  I have a fairly poor single pair and went on to lose to The Texan's flush (it turned out he wasn't bluffing).

The Texan has been progressing well and hopefully will be available to play online by early to mid-July.  An enhanced version will be made for Android at some point after that.

The project website www.paulspokerproject.co.uk has been updated and now has details of some of the books/papers I have read that have influenced the development of The Texan.

If you have any questions about The Texan feel free to contact me at paul@paulspokerproject.co.uk.
