Pokards is a mobile app built with Flutter to play the role of the dealer in a Poker Texas hold'em game. Playing Poker is fun, however having to distribute the cards all the time is a long and repetitive task : Pokards is here to do the job ! To start a game, choose a Game ID: it can be any caracter string you want (emojis allowed !), but it is important that every player use the same. Then, each player choose the Player mode and attribute themselves a number that they enter in the Player number field. You can also use another device with the Table mode selected, which you can put in the center of the table, just like with real cards. To see your hand, swipe up from the card at the bottom of the screen. Be sure not to show it to your opponents! Players bet according to the game's rules, and when it's done, they press Deal. - All 4 Texas Hold'em streets: Prehold, Hold, Turn and River - Player mode (show the board cards + the player's hand) - Table mode (only show the board cards) - Doesn't need Internet connection - Dark theme

This app is for viewing, studying, analysing chess game databases and solving puzzles. It comes with some databases: - Elite database: chess games of human very high ranks, from 2400 Elo. All games are checked, and verified to eliminate errors and redundancies. Player names are checked, standardised too - Annotated games: almost all interesting games with annotations on the Internet. We believe it is the largest collection of annotated games so far - Puzzles with mates from 1 to 9: suitable for all players’ levels, for enjoying as well as for practising. Users can try to solve them and then ask the app to verify their solutions Users could analyse any game for computing information, best moves and for finding blunders. The total of all games and puzzles is huge. A typical human can’t watch and/or solve them all in their whole lives. On one hand, the app becomes the source of unlimited fun, keep every time they get new games to study and enjoy, and new puzzles to solve. On another hand, a huge number of games challenge users to use them efficiently and enjoyably. To help users deal with that huge number of games/puzzles, the app provides redundant ways, from auto-mark visited games, to bookmarking and adding notes to games. Users can search, filter games by many factors, and watch opening trees. It also provides a lot of statistics with many links/buttons to access them conveniently. Our app is very easy to use. Almost all functions are straightforward, users can use them without needing help. Functions are tested carefully for bugs and logical and convenient use. Features are redundant. The whole app is highly customisable. The graphics are very beautiful too.
