Can someone show or explain:

1. An example of how this could be used.

2. How to do something other than just shuffling the cards.

I think it was just a fun side project. But as to how it could be used.. just a few weeks ago we were at a hackathon and built a quick poker texas holdem game. A library like that (arguably a bit more comprehensive) would have saved us a few hours.

Was it just a texas hold em ? Or a variation of it ? I assume being a hackathon it wasn't a vanilla texas hold em. Could you provide some more details and maybe the code ? After seeing this I'm interested to know what else you've done.

So we wanted to learn/play with react native. The project idea was to play a hand of poker online randomly against someone in less than 30 seconds. The fun part is you can only fold or go all-in : )
