Hi everyone,
For years I dreamed of playing PokerTH straight from a browser, with nothing to install — and a while back I finally started building it, originally just a little project to play with my family over our home network. It grew into a full client, and I'd love your help testing it.
What it is: a browser-based web client for PokerTH (HTML5, and you can install it as an app/PWA). It runs on pretty much anything with a browser — desktop, phone, tablet, even older devices — and it connects to the regular PokerTH servers, so you're playing with the existing community, not a separate one.
I've been building it in close coordination with sp0ck and the PokerTH project, and I've tried to stay faithful to the new official look: the slate dark theme (plus a light variant), the official red chip, SVG felt and cards, and the standard Fold / Call / Raise / All-In buttons. Features like the emoji reactions are shared with the Qt/QML clients (since 2.0.8), so everything interoperates.
A few things it already does:
- Desktop, mobile and tablet layouts (movable, resizable chat / log / reaction windows on desktop)
- Avatar upload, country flags, 36 interface languages
- In-game emoji reactions
- A sound / music panel
- An offline practice mode against bots
It's in beta — it works, but I'm sure there are rough edges. I'd really appreciate it if you gave it a try and told me what you think: anything broken, anything confusing, how it behaves on your device, and any ideas you have.
I'll drop the demo and source links in the reply right below (couldn't add links in this first post).
Thanks a lot — and a big thank you to sp0ck for the support along the way.
