EchoFool Posted October 17, 2010 Share Posted October 17, 2010 Hey, I've been working on a script to match playing card hands in a poker game against the river to return what the hand the user has and who won against other players. The problem is how do i approach an algorithm to do this in the first place. Cards are stored and structured by 2 characters seperated by a full stop. Example - 2 of diamonds and 3 of clubs is: D.2,C.3 now imagine a line of 5 cards (the river) and im trying to work out what they have and return the answer such as: 2 pairs or royal flush etc I so far decided my easiest way is to explode on the comma to get each card - then explode a second time on the full stop to get the suit and value into different variables. How ever - after that point im lost how i can do this up against the river to check what hand the user has. Any one got any tips on the best approach ?
