FloPoker

A Symfony project created by Nick Schirmer as a tech demonstration for FloSports in April 2017.

Setup

1. Install composer dependencies: composer install
2. Install bower components: bower install
3. Configure your database: vi app/config/parameters.yml
4. To run Homestead on Vagrant:
   1. Initialize homestead: php vendor/bin/homestead make
   2. Modify your Homestead.yaml file; be sure the to property under sites is pointing to web directory instead of public and add type: symfony below it. (See the Homestead.yaml.example)
   3. Run vagrant: vagrant up
5. Initialize database: php bin/console doctrine:schema:update --force

Initial Requirements

• All players will be able to enter their names into a form
• Once the start button is pressed the game begins
• Each player should have N cards. N should be configurable but cannot exceed 5
• Support the concept of a “turn”, upon which each player can “bet” a certain amount
• Once all the players have had their turn to bet, render each player’s hand on the UI for everyone to see
• The highest hand of cards will win the game and receive the total amount, which is the sum of every player’s bet amount
• You may derive the rules for ranking hands here to determine the winner
• Maintain a leader-board showing the hands of each player, their respective bet amount and who won each game

Unit Testing

The included PlayingCardBundle has 100% code coverage as a demonstration of unit testing.
