A Free and Flexible Poker Environment

Abstract

This paper introduces a framework and software that allows poker players to create and play original and custom poker games, through a TCP/IP connection, for free. This paper describes how the concept of playing usercreated poker games over the Internet is not known to currently exist in a flexible, private, and free environment and also critiques what currently does exist and is available for use. This paper also summarizes the software development process used and the deliverables that ultimately led to a working software application. Future version features and application extensions are also discussed that may enhance the user experience, as well as future research projects.
