Show HN: Multi-player poker on SSH – ssh cli.poker (cli.poker)

6 points by animeshjain ↗ HN
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!

would change the check/call to two different keys, otherwise ace!
Is it down? Got a few games in earlier and can't play it anymore suddenly.
