Join us for an exciting evening of strategic thinking and computational creativity at NUACM's Algorithmic Poker Event! This unique competition challenges participants to develop and implement their own poker-playing algorithms, combining elements of game theory, probability, and artificial intelligence.

Whether you're a seasoned programmer or just starting out, this event offers a fantastic opportunity to test your skills, learn from peers, and experience the thrill of watching your algorithm compete in real-time against other participants' creations. Prizes will be awarded to the most successful algorithms, but the real reward lies in the valuable experience of applying computer science concepts to create intelligent decision-making systems.

Event Details

Date: Thursday Feb 27

Time: 5-7pm

Location: EXP 204

The event will proceed as follows:

1st hour: Team-building and bot-building.

2nd-hour: Compete against each other for prizes.

Ready to code?

Test our bot system locally.

1. Create an .env file at your root poker folder.
2. Set WS_URL to localhost
3. PORT to 3000
4. For SOCKET_KEY, put whatever password you want (eg. “password”).

• This is for your client/server to communicate with each other with authentication (for dealing/kicking, etc)

1. For ADMIN_PASS_HASH, create whatever password you want.

• Use the SHA256 converter below, put your password in and copy the has. Put that in the env.
