Original: Building a Real-time, Multiplayer Poker Game: Phase 1 of 3

Short summary

A high school student shares Phase 1 of a real-time multiplayer Texas Hold'em poker game built with Node.js and Socket.IO. The local prototype supports up to 12 players with full game logic including side pots, rebuys, spectator mode, turn timers, and host controls. The server-authoritative design prevents cheating, and the author seeks early feedback before building Phase 2 (mechanics) and Phase 3 (UI polish).
