FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.

Poker
A PHP-based Poker library capable of hand calculations, Texas Hold'em game logic and more
Cards and Decks
The poker library retains a fairly simplified class structure, providing you with a simple card class which can be swapped out for any card implementation that follows its interface, allowing you to implement your own suits and even your own description translations.
A Deck is a collection of cards that provides shuffle, take card, card count functions and any other functions that might be necessary when building a poker game.
A standard 52 card deck can be instantiated using the static newStandardDeck method
Hands and HandStrengths
Hands are made from a particular number of cards, of which the limit depends on the type of game. The default Hand class sets a limit of 2 cards, as this is the standard Texas Hold'em hand card count.
If an invalid hand is made (i.e. more than 2 cards are added to the hand), an Sixteenstudio\Poker\InvalidHandException will be thrown.
A hand is not to be confused with a hand strength, which is where the strongest hand dependant on a player's hand and any community cards is calculated. This class is currently still under development.
HandStrength instances will be useful because they can calculate, using any provided playable cards, what the strongest hand is that can be made, using only a small amount of method calls.
It will also allow a comparison between other HandStrength classes, which allows a Game class to calculate who the winning player is in any given situation.
Game
The Game class, which is currently under development, is an abstract class which will provide a framework for card based games (that means not only Poker!) that can be re-used for any number of games.
It will hold player information, game states and essentially the backend gameplay logic required to run a game server.
An Laravel 4.2 based application built using Socketier, MongoDB and this Poker library will be available soon, which will be an example of how an online poker room solution can be achieved using PHP.
Example
The environment application will be found in the sixteenstudio/poker-environment repository. This provides a vagrant-based environment built on Laravel 4.2 to fully test out the features of the poker library and the texas hold'em functionality.
