Poker

A multiplayer Texas Hold'em Poker game built with Phoenix LiveView.

Years ago I attempted to build a poker game in Phoenix, but like many side projects it fell by the wayside. This is a re-imagining of that project, but with LiveView.

Status

Still a work in progress.

TODO

  • PubSub broadcast of game state changes
  • Hook up Phoenix presence to detect user disconnects
• Fully implement games flowing from game to game
