wpnotsupported {wildpoker}

Poker Games not supported by the wildpoker package

Description

This data set shows games not supported and brief indications of the enhancements required to add them. Anything involving modeling human behavior (drawing, discarding, bidding, passing) will be much more difficult to add in future than purely rules based variants (like extra hands dealt, win conditions, etc)

Usage

wpnotsupported

Format

A data frame with rownames describing the game and 2 variables:

rowname = name of the game (ngame parameter, eg, "Pineapple")

[,1]	Issue	chr	Brief description of the issue type
[,2]	Notes	chr	Brief rules notes touching on game differences

Issue codes, in rough order of difficulty to add to existing logic

1. strip = Need to discard cards from deck before dealing

2. wild logic = additional wildcard logic required

3. graphs = change scale of grouping logic for graphs

4. win = Nonstandard Win conditions

5. fold logic = Fold player hands under some conditions

6. card steal = steal the best visible card from another player

7. card bid = choose visible vs no card or blind card logic

8. discards = introduce discard-only logic

9. Draw Round = introduce discard and draw logic

10. card pass = choose card to pass rather than discard
