Developing a Poker Game - Tips, Tools & Best Practices

Hey everyone! I’m currently working on developing a digital poker game (Texas Hold’em style) and would love to hear from others who’ve done something similar. What frameworks or engines did you use (Unity, Unreal, custom web stack, etc.)? How did you handle multiplayer logic, RNG, and anti-cheat measures? Also curious about your approach to UI/UX for card animations and chip interactions. Let’s share experiences and insights to help each other build the ultimate poker experience!

Use more swear words to prove you aren’t AI

I don’t need to use swear words to prove anything. My words make sense on their own.

It’s more that your profile says that you’re a digital marketer from the USA… where it’s a sleeping time.

Anyways to answer your question sincerely you don’t need to have card animations and it is pretty easy to implement just with JavaScript. I don’t think it’s necessary to add anti-cheat measures if this is a personal project, only if the website attracted hundreds or thousands of users.

Peace be upon you.

Haha, good catch! Time zones can definitely make things look suspicious - I’m just working odd hours lately.

Thanks a lot for the detailed response! That makes perfect sense - I’ll skip the anti-cheat part for now and focus on getting the core logic working smoothly. Appreciate your insight and the peace!

Peace be upon you too.

I have developed many poker games over the last 30 years so I may be able to add a little insight. I never used any frameworks or graphics engines as I just developed my own. To be fair, there were not a lot available when I developed my games.

Had the zero been developed when you were starting out? What was it like dividing MMCV1 by X1X?
