Cofiguring a new game

New matches are built using the Machine Poker API

var MachinePoker = require('MachinePoker');
var narrator = MachinePokers.observers.narrator;
var narrator = MachinePokers.observers.fileLogger('results.json');

var table = MachinePoker.create({
  maxRounds: 10
});

table.addPlayer('./examples/bots/callBot.js');
table.addPlayer('./examples/bots/callBot.js');
table.addPlayer('./examples/bots/randBot.js');

// Add some observers
table.addObserver(narrator);
table.addObserver(fileLogger);

table.on('ready', function() {
  console.log('ready');
  return table.start();
});

Updating the repo

The sample bots will evolve over the coming weeks in order to give you some better opponents. You can just update the repo to keep up to date.

git pull origin master

Todo

• Get this working under windows (mainly just install instructions)
• Build a file logger to keep track of the games played
