my motivation - i was looking for some CLI games to play when the agent is working and this idea came into my head. this was when fable was available for 3 days, so seemed like a good use of tokens to try and build this out. spent some time polishing to finally get this out.

the public matchmaking connects you on a first come first serve basis to anyone else in the world. there is a bot that will connect in-case a match is not found for 45 seconds. games last about 5-10 minutes (tournament style fast paced). and each game impacts your rating (glicko-2). so they're quite nice for idle time when the agents are running :)

some other ideas in my head... - add a 1v1 mode where you can play against a co-worker/friend - company/college specific leaderboards

would love feedback / advice please!

Is it down? Got a few games in earlier and can't play it anymore suddenly.

Suggestions - Add 1-2 more seconds for hand resolution so that we can look at both hands

- Move chat to the left hand side so that it doesn't get overrun by hand results

- Ability to print hands in a log

- Ranking update after every game (+40 pts. You moved up X rankings and are now ranked Y)

- Tweaks to TUI setup: I resized the window temporarily and lost the hand results/output section until I restarted the ssh cnxn

thanks for the feedback! by ability to print hands in a log - you mean to be able to download the logs locally ?

Yeah, something to share w/ an LLM maybe. Some more feedback:

- Save bot on/off preferences

- When the game is over, `r` to replay against the same user. Maybe a 3-5s countdown for rematches instead of booting back to lobby

- Names are truncated in the main name field

- Underneath the name field, show the ranking of your opponent

good points. will address some of these in the next release soon!

Best way to play poker.

would change the check/call to two different keys, otherwise ace!

thanks for the feedback!
