poker.el: Texas Holdem for lisp/play/

[Mario Lang]

Hi.

I am developing a holdem poker engine in Emacs Lisp, intended for
eventual submission as lisp/play/poker.el.

The basics are done, the interface still needs some more polishing.

For now, M-x poker will start an interactive game of 10 players
(you against 9 bots).
Bots can also just play against each other.

If anyone wants to take an early look, it is here:

Why not add it to `elpa'?

Because I initially thought lisp/play deserves some more "real" games :-)

However, I can also go for ELPA, if this is what is prefered these
days.  How do I apply for an account such that I can commit to ELPA?  Or
is that handled by someone for me?

Yes, I prefer adding packages to GNU ELPA these days, unless they're
"core" packages (i.e. likely used by default, by most users, or by many
other packages).

Some GNU ELPA packages may later move into core, of course, or
alternatively (sadly, this hasn't been worked out yet) the Emacs release
would/will bundle up some GNU ELPA packages.

Ask for membership in the "emacs" group, from your savannah account.

Thanks for cleuing me in.  I will have to delay this until I find
sighted assistance.  I am apparently failing to solve the audio captcha. Sigh.
Damn captchas.  While I will find a way to circumvent this, I
have to say what I think: CAPTCHAs are immoral, as much as proprietary
software is.

IIUC, this is needed to create the Savannah account, right?
[ If you already have a Savannah account, I could add you manually.  ]

Indeed, they're fundamentally wrong (although they are "popular" because
they solve a difficult problem).

I suggest you go the Savannah, then select "Get support" and in there
select "Support => Submit" to create a ticket where you can ask them to
create an account for you.
That will also give you an opportunity to complain about the use of
captchas to people slightly closer to those who make the choice.

Ooh, ooh! I just went through this and can help you. Go here:

https://savannah.gnu.org/

Go to the "new user" link in the top left, and do the necessary. Once
you have your user set up, also add a SSH key to your profile, you'll
need that later. Once you're logged in, go to "my groups", and request
addition to the "emacs" group. Once you've got that, you should be able
to clone the "elpa" repository as per these instructions:

https://savannah.gnu.org/git/?group=emacs

Under the "member clone" section.

I'm also thinking of submitting a package for ELPA (a small addition to
orgmode to help scheduling reviews). The membership request page says
"Therefore, usually you would first contact the project developers
(e.g., using a project mailing list) before requesting formal inclusion
using this form." Is it also the etiquette for ELPA? (If so, please
consider this as a contact ☺.)

Best,

Alan
