Abstract

PokerKit is an open-source Python library designed to overcome the restrictions of existing Poker game simulation and hand evaluation tools, which typically support only a handful of Poker variants and lack flexibility in game state control. In contrast, PokerKit significantly expands this scope by supporting an extensive array of Poker variants and it provides a flexible architecture for users to define their custom games. This article details the design and implementation of PokerKit, including its intuitive programmatic API, multivariant game support, and a unified hand evaluation suite across different hand types. The flexibility of PokerKit allows for applications in diverse areas, such as Poker AI development, tool creation, and online Poker casino implementation. PokerKit's reliability has been established through static type checking, extensive doctests, and unit tests, achieving 99% code coverage. The introduction of PokerKit represents a significant contribution to the field of computer Poker, fostering future research and advanced AI development for a wide variety of Poker games.

PokerKit:一个用于细粒度多变量扑克游戏模拟的综合Python库

PokerKit是一个开源Python库，旨在克服现有扑克游戏模拟和手牌评估工具的限制，这些工具通常只支持少数扑克变体，并且在游戏状态控制方面缺乏灵活性。相比之下，PokerKit通过支持大量扑克变体显著扩展了这一范围，并为用户提供了一个灵活的架构来定义他们的自定义游戏。本文详细介绍了PokerKit的设计和实现，包括其直观的编程API，多变体游戏支持以及跨不同手牌类型的统一手牌评估套件。PokerKit的灵活性允许在不同领域的应用程序，例如扑克AI开发，工具创建和在线扑克赌场实施。PokerKit的可靠性是通过静态类型检查、广泛的文档测试和单元测试建立起来的，实现了99%的代码覆盖率。PokerKit的引入代表了对计算机扑克领域的重大贡献，促进了未来的研究和各种扑克游戏的先进人工智能发展。源代码可从https://github.com/uoftcprg/pokerkit获得
