Draw Poker 2.0
Written by Chris Whitacre
Copyright (c) 1995-97 All rights reserved.
Draw Poker is a multi-player, interactive, 5 card, nothing wild, draw
poker door for falken multi-user electronic bulletin board systems. Draw
poker is written in the language of Turbo-C and will require 16k per line
for the loader program. When a new game is started, a copy of poker is loaded
into the memory taking about 48k and the loader task is put to sleep - this
program will be the main working program for that game from until all
players have left the game. When a line wishes to join that game, the /join
command, the loaded poker program will put the line that wishes to join the
game to sleep and take over that persons line manipulating the players in
the game in a round robin style method. Draw Poker runs in text mode, so
that all the bbs commands are available during play and the player will
receive messages from the bbs during play as well.
Setting up Draw Poker: Make a subdirectory off of your main bbs for all
the poker files in the directory make another subdirectory called USERS -
this is where all the *.acc files will be stored for the players. Copy the
contents of the distribution package to the subdirectory that you made,
these should be playpoke.exe, poker.exe, pokeinfo.dat (registered only),
then load up your bbscfg and add it to the menu along with the path to the
files, for example: P POKER\PLAYPOKE .\POKER\ and set you credit usage to
whatever you see fit, if even used, and you are all set to start playing
the game.
Available commands from the loader program: /GAMES will show the
current games and thier status, open, private, full etc., /HELP will show a
little menu of the commands and a brief description, /MAKE X will start a
new game where X is the number of the game you want to start (this number
may be from 1 to the number of lines you have available), /JOIN X will join
a game in progress IF they are allowing players as well as the game is not
full, and last but not least, /LEAVE will leave the game.
Available commands from within the game: /GAMES will show the current
games and their status, open, private, full, etc., /HELP will show a little
menu of commands and a brief description, /FOLD will fold your hand from
any point in the game, /LEAVE will leave the current game, /CARDS will show
your current hand, /SAY <message> will broadcast a message to all players
in that game (the // will also send a message to all players as well), and
/HIGHSCORES will show the top 10 players.

this program at your own risks. This program is at best knowledge bug free,
but then again, I'm only a machine. All problems and bugs should be
reported to the author through proper channels so that we can get them
