Poker - Stats
Whilst working on the tracking of the cards I thought it might be also useful to see certain stats, luckily I don't have to do the calculations myself and have found 2 projects written in C# I can repurpose. The first is PokerOddsPro from @dyh1213 and the other is Poker-Hand-Evaluator from @danielpaz6.
Poker - API
The main idea behind the API is to have an RFID sticker on a playing card, that gets scanned by an RC522 RFID Reader that then calls an endpoint via an ESP8266 (This could also have been an ESP32). A simple first solution is to pass the id and the player number. This then finds the corresponding playing card and copies it to given location. The reason for this is OBS is configured to show these cards in a scene. In the future I might be saving all this information to a local db to track everything to be able to replay the scenarios, but for now this will do.
🎙️ Beginners Guide to API Specs - Part 2
In Part 1 I ran through what an API Specification is, showed the underlying JSON (or YAML) and how it looked as a Swagger website. In this presentation I showed you how to interrogate and visualise your data with a tool called Postman, how to annotate your code with a Kotlin example (LEGO API Demo) and discussed the Editor and Generator for helping with the API.

I work in cross discipline teams and the Product Delivery members keep us Developers on track, writing up User Stories, managing our ceremonies etc. We often talk a lot about APIs and it's prob not something they are interested in :p. This talk was to demystify a swagger spec, break it down into what it is, what it does, and how we use them in our day to day jobs.
