Hi, I'm planning to create a poker calculator, I learned some basic in highschool years ago and I was told for beginners Python is a good language to start.
What I wanted to do is to first write a program which will be able to run through all the possible combinations of cards dealt out and use some counters to calculate different probabilities at different stages. Since that is a lot of data I think I have to store it in some kind of database or spreadsheet type thing? Then I wanted to write a simple user interface so I could use my mouse to make selections of cards that I am dealt and that come on the flop and how many opponents and have the program find the calculated information and display it on the screen. I am wondering if I learn to use Python will I be able to write something like this? My friend studied some C in college so I thought I'd learn C++, turns out it is a very complicated language so I thought maybe I should try something else before I commit more time to the language. Thank you very much in advance -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
