Oh, I appreciate that! It's the "telluricdeckay" project on this GitHub org page:
https://github.com/TelluricDeckay

The other two projects listed there are libraries we wrote for the program.

The hand-eval library isn't complete yet; it needs a function to compare between 2
or more poker hands to see which is higher, in the event of a tie (e.g. if > 1 player has a pair, two-pair, etc).

Right now, it only has a function to figure out if a hand of five cards contains a
pair, two-pair, three-of-a-kind, etc.

No Contributing doc yet, but that should come soon after we add more to the code-base and make start making tickets. Maybe I'll make a ticket for the compare
function.. I think I might need a short break from alogorithms! Also.. I haven't
figured out how to do it yet! ;)

Anyway.. the app isn't finished yet, Maurice, but I can definitely give you a ping
when there's a playable prototype. :)

I may try a Rust library and give the app sound effects. But if that means too much bloat for your tastes, I'll avoid that! :)

I'm not much of a gamer either, but probably more than you from the sounds of it.
These days, I play 0 A.D. a few hours a week against the AI with a friend of mine.
Though I've been coding so much lately, haven't played in over a week.
