There's this poker repo: https://github.com/fedden/poker_ai
In the README.md file there is a section titled "Playing a game of poker"
In this section the author provides a short script to play a round of poker using his repo:
from poker_ai import utils
from poker_ai.ai.dummy import RandomPlayer
from poker_ai.poker.table import PokerTable
from poker_ai.poker.engine import PokerEngine
from poker_ai.poker.pot import Pot
# Seed so things are deterministic.
utils.random.seed(42)
# Some settings for the amount of chips.
initial_chips_amount = 10000
small_blind_amount = 50
big_blind_amount = 100
# Create the pot.
pot = Pot()
# Instanciate six players that will make random moves, make sure
# they can reference the pot so they can add chips to it.
players = [
RandomPlayer(
name=f'player {player_i}',
initial_chips=initial_chips_amount,
pot=pot)
for player_i in range(6)
]
# Create the table with the players on it.
table = PokerTable(players=players, pot=pot)
# Create the engine that will manage the poker game lifecycle.
engine = PokerEngine(
table=table,
small_blind=small_blind_amount,
big_blind=big_blind_amount)
# Play a round of Texas Hold'em Poker!
engine.play_one_round()
This short script seems to work, but I would like to be able to play a round of poker but choosing each player's cards and the community cards myself. Currently this script only allows me to play a round of poker with random players doing random actions getting random cards which I cannot even see.
Solution I have tried
I've tried implementing card picking by making a small change in the repo.
I changed the pick() function in the deck.py file and the deal_card() function in the dealer.py file slightly, but it did not work for me, don't know why. Where I implemented input('Pick a card:') doesn't seem to work because I do not get prompted to pick cards when I run the round (and, in theory, the python inbuilt function input() should prompt me to type something when called). The small changes are shown below.
def pick(self, random: int = 0) -> Card:
"""Return a card from the deck.
Parameters
----------
random : int
If this is 0, return a completely random card, else return the
next card in the deck (1), else you pick (2)
Returns
-------
card : Card
The card that was picked.
"""
if not len(self._cards_in_deck):
raise ValueError("Deck is empty - please use Deck.reset()")
elif 0:
index: int = np.random.randint(len(self._cards_in_deck), size=None)
elif 1:
index: int = len(self._cards_in_deck) - 1
elif 2:
index: int = self._cards_in_deck.index(input('Pick a card:'))
card: Card = self._cards_in_deck.pop(index)
self._dealt_cards.append(card)
return card
def deal_card(self) -> Card:
"""Return a completely random card."""
return self.deck.pick(2)
After this change I tweaked the "Playing a game of poker" script printed above, and got this:
Script:

big_blind_amount = 100
# Create the pot.
pot = Pot()
# Instanciate six players that will make random moves, make sure

players = [
RandomPlayer(
name='player 0',
initial_chips=initial_chips_amount,
pot=pot),
RandomPlayer(

initial_chips=56700,
pot=pot)
]
# Create the table with the players on it.
table = PokerTable(players=players, pot=pot)
# Create the engine that will manage the poker game lifecycle.
engine = PokerEngine(
table=table,
small_blind=small_blind_amount,
big_blind=big_blind_amount)
# Play a round of Texas Hold'em Poker!
table.pot.reset(), pp.pprint(players)

(None, None)
As you can see, my attempt did not work, since at no point was I prompted to pick a card.
What should I change exactly in order to get this short script to allow me to pick the cards?
