Bit off more than I can chew.


So, my initial idea for this game jam was inspired by the cards in the 1 bit pack, my experience working with cards on another project, and my love of poker. I tried re-using my card tools for this project, but the code was too unwieldy and not structured well for this specific project.  As a result I ended up burning 6 hours before deciding to re-write the card handling system from scratch with heavy references to my card tools project.  Everything went swimmingly until I started playing with the arrays to determine poker hand value.  On top of that I still have to write an AI for the computer opponent.  It is highly unlikely that I will finish this within the 48 hours for the jam, but I do intend to finish it.  I think it will be a good learning tool, and as a bonus I think the game could be fun with a couple more features and some polish.
