Poker hand check

**Snappie** · 10-16-2010 06:23 AM

Hey guys!

I'm quite new to JavaScript, I've done a tiny bit of PHP and also some JavaScript in the past but only easy stuff.

I wanted to write a simple poker game in JavaScript to practice it a little but for some reason my code keeps bugging, downloaded a few JavaScript debuggers and Editors and cant even find it with those.(it says I'm supposed to have the output I'm aiming for atm, showing all the possible cases)

What this code is supposed to do is check all possible hands I could have with the 2 cards in my hand and the 5 cards on the table (Texas poker)
but it doesn't show anything at all.

Pass a string not a variable

Code:

checkHand('player_1');

but it IS a variable:

Player_1 = new Array();

or should I still send this as a string ?:O

hmmm ok it works now

thanks^^

though, how can I pass Player_1 as a Array?, so I can have multiply players use that same Function to check their hand?

thanks in advance again

Solved it! thanks

Thanks to your post I found out that I wrote "Player_1" as "player_1"

works perfectly now

Case is important

Code:

checkHand(Player_1);
