Poker - App
Aside to the API the ultimate goal would be to have a website that I can use to track the game information and visualise it, alongside the OBS scene. I've made a start on replicating the scene but as a webpage.
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.
