Thank you for stopping by and checking out TinyPoker. TinyPoker is a collection of free software for poker and is written and maintained by Thomas Cort. The TinyPoker project was founded in 2005 to create a poker server and poker bot programming framework. It has evolved since then and is currently undergoing a major re-write. The new library, libtinypoker, just had its first release. The new server, tinypokerd, needs additional game logic. The target release date for tinypokerd is May 1, 2009.
