Coded strategies to determine the best way to bluff and call in the card game bullshit

Overview

There are two projects within this project. One is the command line tool which is in the folder cl. The other is the web application which is under bs-web.

You can see the web app at https://plivesey.github.io/bs/.

Running the Command Line tool

You need node to run the tool. If you don't have node, you can install it with npm:

$ npm install -g node

You should start with:

$ cd cl
$ node ./bs.js -h

This should give you information on how to run various commands.

Contributing

To add your own strategies:

1. Check out the files playFunctions.js and callFunctions.js. There are several classes here which you can copy for your own strategies.
2. You can implement two functions for playing and calling. The first returns what you are playing or what you are calling depending on a certain state. You can see all the properties of the state in game.js. The other is a summary function which is called after each turn. You can use this to update internal metrics on how the game is going.
3. In bs.js, add your new class to playingStrategies AND orderedPlayingStrategies or callingStrategies AND orderedCallingStrategies.
4. Run $ node ./bs.js YOUR_STRATEGY and see how it does!
