Smoke'em
Poker is a BeerWare
program that I wrote to simulate a weekend game of five-card draw
poker. You play against five opponents simulated by the computer.
The simple interface includes lots of options, statistics (including
a graph of winnings), auto-play mode, saveable games, and online
help. |

It started
as an Amiga
game, but I eventually sold out and ported it to Windows. |

Smoke'em Poker is currently
at version 1.9 (released June 19, 1996).
Smoke'em Poker has turned
out to be very popular (the price is right, at least ;^), and
it has garnered a number of good reviews and a lot of welcome
feedback from users. In fact, the wish list is a mile long at
this point, and I hope to get back to it soon.
Version 2.0 is partly
designed, and will probably include the following new features:
- Internet play with
up to 5 real opponents (the computer will fill in the rest)
- More poker games (such
as stud poker)
- Sets of sounds for
each player (record your own, send'em to your friends)
If you have more ideas
for the next version, please let me know.

Source Code (Windows) |

Smoke'em Poker was programmed
using Borland Delphi 1.0
(a Visual-Basic-like tool that uses Pascal underneath). The source
code is freely available
to anyone with an interest in:
- writing computer games
in Delphi
- writing poker games
in any language
This source code uses
several custom Delphi components, so it will not compile as is.
However, it should give you a good idea of what's going on under
the hood.

The original

It was programmed using CanDo, an easy-to-use development tool by

I enjoy hearing
from people who have downloaded Smoke'em Poker and played it.
I particularly like getting suggestions about how the game could
be improved and which new features you would like most (or least).
I can't promise that every request will make it into the game, but
when I get several people asking for the same thing, that helps
me make up my mind.
If you have suggestions or comments on Smoke'em Poker, please e-mail me. |
