So, I spent the night whipping up some code for a somewhat-bizarre not-fully-tested-and-probably-buggy feature: Texas hold 'em poker. It's fairly intuitive (saying "call" calls, saying "check" checks, saying "raise 10" raises the bet by 10, saying "fold" folds, et cetera). The only unintuitive things are how to force a deal of the hand when there are some people who are "in game" but not anted (a majority > 50% of the players that have anted must say "start"), taking that back ("don't start"), and quitting the game (which basically deletes your chip total and makes it so people don't have to vote to start the game with the "start" command), which is done by saying "I'm done".
Here's a quick log to demonstrate:<!MageKing17> Poker.
<+MageBot> A game of Texas hold 'em poker has begun! Players start with 100 chips. Players can join at any time; two players are required for a hand to start. To start a hand, one player must ante. Any other players wishing to participate must also ante. Play will proceed in the order that players anted. Once all players have anted (or a majority of the participating players have voted to start), the hand begins.
<!MageKing17> Ante 5.
<+MageBot> MageKing17 kicks things off by anteing 5 chips!
<+MageBot> It appears MageKing17 has no friends; with no other antes within 60 seconds, MageKing17's ante of 5 chips is returned.
<!MageKing17> Ante 5.
<+MageBot> MageKing17 kicks things off by anteing 5 chips!

<+MageBot> MageKing17: You are the only person playing right now, and have 95 chips. A hand cannot begin without at least two players.
<+MageBot> It appears MageKing17 has no friends; with no other antes within 60 seconds, MageKing17's ante of 5 chips is returned.
<%Shingo> Poker.
<+MageBot> Shingo has joined the game with 100 chips!
<%Shingo> Ante 5.
<+MageBot> Shingo kicks things off by anteing 5 chips!

The current bet is 7. (As you can see, he still has a couple bugs to be worked out. The problems here are a missing space, a lack of a conditional check for whether or not there are players outside this hand, and fucking up with displaying the communal cards.)

<+MageBot> Shingo checks.
<+MageBot> MageKing17, it's now your turn to bet (current bet: 7).

<!MageKing17> I think I'll also need a function to remind me of my hand, because I can't remember. >.<
