# Hands

Simple library for calculating poker hands.

Currently this gem is very limited. I plan on adding outs, odds, and other actually useful stuff. I started writing this on a plane as a personal challenge. It's current state is crude, although tested and works.

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

``` ruby
gem 'hands'
```

And then execute:

    $ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

    $ gem install hands

## Usage

``` ruby
# Best hand detection
straight = Hands::Hand.new
straight << Hands::Card['A', :hearts]
straight << Hands::Card[2, :spades]
straight << Hands::Card[3, :diamonds]
straight << Hands::Card[4, :hearts]
straight << Hands::Card[5, :clubs]
straight.best_hand[:type] # 'straight'

# Hand comparison
pair = Hands::Hand.new
pair << Hands::Card[2, :hearts]
pair << Hands::Card[2, :clubs]
pair << Hands::Card[3, :diamonds]
pair << Hands::Card[4, :hearts]
pair << Hands::Card[5, :clubs]

flush = Hands::Hand.new
flush << Hands::Card[6, :hearts]
flush << Hands::Card[7, :hearts]
flush << Hands::Card[8, :hearts]
flush << Hands::Card[2, :hearts]
flush << Hands::Card[4, :hearts]
flush > pair # true

# Card comparison
card1 = Hands::Card.new(:value => 2, :suite => :hearts)
card2 = Hands::Card.new(:value => 3, :suite => :clubs)
card2 > card1 # true
```

## Running Tests

Running and reading the tests is (for now) the best way to see the functionality of this gem.

```
$ bundle
$ bundle exec rake spec
```
