pokerish

pokerish is a Texas Hold'em poker simulation: a game engine, a WebSocket server and an optional raylib table GUI in one binary. Remote clients, human players or bots, connect over WebSockets and talk JSON.

• Cash game (default): 2–10 seats, empty seats filled by auto bots, busted players rebought; the game never ends.
• Tournament (--tournament): sit-and-go with rising blinds, antes, a countdown and winner-takes-all elimination.

• All-in-one server; --headless skips the GUI.
• A raylib play client for humans and several reference bots, from a minimal example to a GTO bot with opponent modeling.
• Human-like thinking delays with --simulate.
• Hand history export in PokerStars format (--export-dir hands).
• Seeded determinism for tests and experiments.

It is C++17 and needs make, cmake, libwebsockets and the raylib platform packages. The third-party libraries are submodules:

$ git clone --recursive --depth 1 https://github.com/hugoocoto/pokerish
$ cd pokerish
$ make

This builds the server, the bots and the human client. It runs on Linux, macOS and Windows (MSYS2).
