Description

Classic Video Poker (CVP) is a lightweight, browser-based retro video poker game which originally hit the front page of HN on Oct 4, 2023: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37763098I've finally managed to release version 2. The delay was mostly due to fear of upsetting the user base with breaking changes.Version 2 includes:- Frictionless accounts: added registration so you can save progress but no personal info or email.- Deep play stats: Track lifetime RTP (Return to player), max win/loss streaks, winning hand counts and more.- Leaderboards & Cash out: Cash out wins above the free play level, feeding into leaderboards for bank balance, RTP% (after 50 hands of play), and leaderboards that reward grinders- Mobile stability - I've completely rewritten the communications routines both on server/client side. Mobile can be flaky, so the client handles silent auto-retries in the background without interrupting gameplay.- Updated UI: New crisp graphics for playing cardsObligatory tech stack info: serverside PHP / MySQL & client is coded in Godot 3.5.I'd love to hear your feedback & I hope you all enjoy the new version!Play it here: https://www.classicvideopoker.com/classicvideopokerv2/
