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

[ 0.22 ms ] story [ 21.7 ms ] thread- Move chat to the left hand side so that it doesn't get overrun by hand results
- Ability to print hands in a log
- Ranking update after every game (+40 pts. You moved up X rankings and are now ranked Y)
- Tweaks to TUI setup: I resized the window temporarily and lost the hand results/output section until I restarted the ssh cnxn
- Save bot on/off preferences
- When the game is over, `r` to replay against the same user. Maybe a 3-5s countdown for rematches instead of booting back to lobby
- Names are truncated in the main name field
- Underneath the name field, show the ranking of your opponent
