Announcing Rounder 0.0.1

"Alright Mr. Son of a bitch, let's play some cards..." - Teddy KGB, Rounders

rounder-0.0.1-table

After a little over a year of insanely sporadic development, we've finally made it to a 0.0.1 release. This release features functional network play for $2/4 limit hold'em and a simple chat interface, but no persistent stats or account information. Source and Fedora 9 RPMs available here:

rounder-0.0.1.tar.gz (MD5: d99dd7c446c7441cd7caf26a8ba59b54)
rounder-0.0.1-1.fc9.noarch.rpm (MD5: d4174d646c4c3acedb2f633621e8d762)
rounder-0.0.1-1.fc9.src.rpm (MD5: 8e783b730ac6e1c334fac631691ef043)

I'll be submitting for Fedora package review in the coming days and get it into the F9 repos as soon as possible.

I'm going to try to keep a single table server up for a little bit. You should be able to reach it by firing up rounder and connecting to 24.89.250.181 port 35100. Use whatever login name you want (so long as it's not already in use) and the password "password". Fire up rounder-server if you'd like to have a private server.

Quite rough around the edges across the board but it should be mostly playable. UI could use some love and I'm absolutely certain there's unseen bugs lurking around, so please feel free to report anything you come across. I hope to use Red Hat's Bugzilla once the packages are approved for inclusion in Fedora but feel free to mail me anything you find until then. (dgoodwin AT dangerouslyinc DOT com)

More info available on the project page.

Feel free to stop by #rounder on the Freenode IRC network if you'd like to chat or try to get a game together.

My thanks to James and Kenny for their kickass code contributions, and my wife Anette for getting us some graphics!

Hello, I've been watching

Hello,

I've been watching your Rounder project evolve as your blog is syndicated on Planet Fedora. I have to say that this is the perfect poker game I'd want to see included on Fedora. I can't wait to have a go on it. Thanks for creating it and I hope development continues well. Cheers.

I too have been following your project.

Since Poker is still the "Big Thing" right now I predict a LOT of yum installs once this gets the OK from the powers that be.

Great work,
Thanks !

Very aggressive. A new day,
