Erlang Poker Server + HTML5 Canvas

Hey, today i was walking around git-hub checking some erlang projects, and i found this really great erlang poker server, from the greater Joel Reymont.

Well to be honest i dont really give a damm about poker, i never played it, online or in real world, but i have a lot of friends completely addicted to it, so its a topic that catches my attention.

So i start to wonder how great would be to build a client to this server, and i remember a discussion i had earlier with @telmodiasand @jclopesabout htm5 canvas and flash, and the battle to control rich interface applications. EUREKA! Lets build a client for the openpoker server using canvas, to prove that its possible to build a rich interface like the ones exist today in flash (like this one ) much more lighter and faster.

Since i have tons of other projects to work in, this is going to the “when i get time” department, and then probably to oblivion… so i would be really happy to help anybody that would like to really do it :)

If you are not convinced check 9elements experiment of canvas, just amazing :)

    Hey!  If someone is interested, I was able to compile and run OpenPoker on Ubuntu Linux. I'm a lousy programmer but was able to get it going in about 11 minutes; so I'm sure a competent programmer can get this project started.  I would really like to see an HTML5 client for this Erlang based poker server.  BTW, OpenPoker is now officially a full fledged open source poker server which is being used and licensed by EA and the WSOP's online mobile device poker game on Facebook. IMO, OpenPoker is the CATS ASS of poker servers! We just need an open source client to really make it ROCK!

    Hey your post is a little old but if your still interested I'm thinking about working on a html5 poker game to be plaiyed with bitcoin as the currency. If your interested get back to me. If the erland poker game ends up not compiling I'm pretty sure I could write one with pygame and either tornado or django pretty quickly.
