Could you build this?
Partial While a basic web UI and room codes are easy, implementing accurate game logic for multiple poker variants (Short Deck, Pineapple OFC, Omaha) alongside low-latency multiplayer state synchronization is notoriously complex.
What it would actually take: A real version requires a WebSockets/WebRTC game server architecture (likely Node.js or Elixir/Go) handling strict, authoritative game state machines to prevent desyncs and cheating. The hard part is building and testing complex poker engines for tricky variants like Open-Face Chinese (OFC) and Pineapple with full tie-breaking, pot-splitting, and side-pot math. It demands deep understanding of turn-based networking, concurrent state management, and edge-case testing.
