I need to write a texas holdem program in VB.Net and im lost. i dont know where to start. it is only a logic class so it does not have to be fancy it just has to work. has anyone wrote a program like this?

 

The only program I wrote of this ilk was to solve Suduko puzzles (created in Excel VBA).

 

Try searching for "Texas Hold em algorithm" and see what you get.

 

What with c++?
Flash? Edit: oh der me. you said VB

There is tons of tutorials on google.
I am just fluent in html and some bbc.
This is where i learned alot of what i know:

http://www.w3schools.com/

 

Can you write it in Java?? ..then i'll be able to help. Otherwise I can only help with the logistic(sp) behind the program.

 

i been looking on google but those programs are more complex than i need it to be.

 

the only language we learned is VB Its not a language class really its a programming logic class so we didnt learn much on the different languages

 

Was this assigned or something you volunteered to do? If you volunteered, then maybe you can change it to something simpler, such as Tic Tac Toe or better yet, Suduko (you don't have to worry about strategy).

What you have elected to do, is mammoth. You will have to worry about the details of betting, winning hands, comparing hands, card management. Just one component of that is complex let alone all of them put together. If you had a year or two and/or a team of programmers you could take on the whole project. I can't even see how you could simplify this unless you just took on one small component.

 

I created a BlackJack game in VB a while back. It wasn't that hard, I did it in a few weeks. I still have the source code if you'd like to take a look, although you would have to wait until I got home.

 

Blackjack should be relatively easy too.
