I think it would be pretty complicated. You need to worry about suits as well as number value.
You would need to assign a ranking value to pair, two pair, three of a kind, full house etc, up to royal flush, then determine if they are holding that hand. So it might be - 1. determine the hand they are holding 2. assign it a rank (royal flush would be highest rank, no pairs or anything would be lowest) 3. determine who at the table has the highest rank - if more than one has same rank then determine tie breaker I think step 1 would involve the most code. You would need to make an array for each hand I think, and loop over it comparing each element to each other element to determine pairs, flushes etc. Then you also have the challenge of creating a "deck" and making sure it's randomized (shuffled) and that no player is getting the same card as any other player. Good luck, let us know how it goes. ----- Original Message ----- From: "So Kenfused" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Talk" <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 07, 2006 9:48 AM Subject: ordering Poker hands >I am building a poker applicaiton. > > Has anyone dealt with determining the value of a hand? > > I have the feeling I am making it even more complicated than necessary. > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:259486 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
