Kingdom Cards

An AI integrated poker capstone project written with Python, using pygame and pygame_gui

Created by Jacob Penman, Jonah Brawley, Dylan Lau, and Jeremiah Oh for CSC412 at California Baptist University

Overview

xtcards (aka Kingdom Cards) is a digital Texas Hold 'Em style poker game that integrates a custom trained poker AI as well as image recognition in order to demonstrate the capabilities and viability of a digital poker game that is playable with real cards

The goal of the Christian integration is to provide a more positive impact and have healthier implications than traditional poker. Additionally, in order to play the game you must use a deck of standard Bicycle playing cards, as this is what our image recognition model was trained off of in order to achieve a high 99.9% accuracy.

Setup instructions

1. Clone project
2. Run pip install -r requirements.txt to install dependencies needed
3. Play by running main.py

Debug options

Disable image detection by running python main.py --debug-tf=true. This is only useful if you are making modifications to the game and would like faster loading times.

Updating requirements

1. If new dependencies are added or removed, use pipreqs --force [PATH TO XTCARDS HERE] to automatically update requirements.txt
2. Tip: if you are located inside your xtcards folder, use pipreqs --force . (period means current directory)
