Poker in Google Sheets
During the first Covid-19 lockdown in Melbourne in 2020, I decided to create an online version of the classic poker game Texas Hold'Em, so that my friends and I would be able to play together virtually.
I decided (for better or worse) to do this on the Google Sheets platform. I was happy to discover that it was possible, and in the end I succeeded in making the game work smoothly for everyone to have a fun night. |
During the process I taught myself the Google Sheets script, and enjoyed the challenge of optimizing the key parts of the game necessary to make it run fast enough for the players to enjoy.
