What's in the room // two front doors, one shell.

[ 03 modules online ]

01 // POKER

No-limit hold’em, all the math.

Multi-table cash games and tournaments share the same engine. Side-pot accounting that actually works. Sit-out timers, re-buys, dealer button — all built in.

03 // THE ROOM

One handle. One room. Over SSH.

Same identity across both games. No password, no email, no recovery flow — your SSH key is your account. Web is intentionally not on the roadmap.

[ HOW TO CONNECT ]

One command. // No client. No password. No browser.

Open a terminal. Type ssh gameroom.sh. The room boots a Bubble Tea TUI right there in your shell. Tab between poker and chess like switching windows in a window manager — same handle, same fingerprint, same room.

//connect 
$ ssh gameroom.sh_
//first-time setup (if you don't have a key) 
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519
//throwaway key (zero attribution) 
$ ssh-keygen -t ed25519 -f ~/.ssh/gameroom_throwaway && \
  ssh -o IdentitiesOnly=yes -i ~/.ssh/gameroom_throwaway gameroom.sh

The next deal is waiting. The clock is ticking.
