Watch nine bots play

A live table with no reader seat: nine bots play, every card is up, and the reader watches. The config sits in the page itself, so there is no second file.

What you need

• Nothing but the page. The config goes inside the element.
• A web server. The table does not run from a file:// page.

Step 1: load the element

Put this line in the page once. Every table on the page shares it.

<script type="module" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@imperialbower/bowery@0.3.0/bowery.js"></script>

To host it yourself, unpack bowery-vX.Y.Z.tar.gz from a release into a folder, for example bowery/, and load bowery/bowery.js instead. The element loads its wasm from the same folder.

Step 2: put the table and its config in the page

This is the whole table. The YAML goes in a <script type="application/yaml"> inside the element.

<bowery-table>
  <script type="application/yaml">
mode: play
layout: ledger
view: all
table: { seats: 9, stakes: { small_blind: 50.0, big_blind: 100.0 } }
players:
  - { seat: 0, stack: 10000, bot: gto }
  - { seat: 1, stack: 10000, bot: tight_passive }
  - { seat: 2, stack: 10000, bot: loose_aggressive }
  - { seat: 3, stack: 10000, bot: tight_aggressive }
  - { seat: 4, stack: 10000, bot: loose_passive }
  - { seat: 5, stack: 10000, bot: maniac }
  - { seat: 6, stack: 10000, bot: abc }
  - { seat: 7, stack: 10000, bot: short_stack_ninja }
  - { seat: 8, stack: 10000, bot: gto }
seed: 9
delay_ms: 400
  </script>
  <p>Nine bots at a 50/100 table.</p>
</bowery-table>

• Every player has a bot, so no seat is the reader's.
• view: all puts every hole card face up.
• layout: ledger draws one row per seat. It suits many seats and narrow screens.
• seed: 9 deals the same hands each time the page loads.
• The <p> is the fallback. The reader sees it until the table is ready, and keeps it if JavaScript is off.

Many tables can sit on one page. Each has its own config and its own game; they share one wasm module.

Step 3: serve the page

python3 -m http.server 8000

Win percents

% shows every live seat's win percent, and with two seats left and one card to come, the trailing seat's outs; it is only there when every card is up. Play mode starts with odds off: the bots run on a timer, and a nine-way preflop step is a second of Monte Carlo in the browser. The reader turns them on with %, which is there because this config says view: all. The preflop percent is sampled, so it may differ from the figure bowery-still --odds prints.

Settings you can change

Every field: Config on docs.rs. The bots are listed on the play guide.

Events

Each finished hand sends bowery:hand-over:

document.addEventListener('bowery:hand-over', (event) => {
  console.log(event.target.id, 'hand over', event.detail.result);
});
