Open Face Chinese Poker is a popular side game that professional and amateur poker players are playing at the poker tables. It is a variation of Chinese Poker also known as Pusoy. Each player will get a total of 13 cards in which they need to set into three poker hands. The bottom hand has to beat the middle hand which has to beat the top hand, otherwise you misset, and do not get any points. Your goal is to not misset, while beating each of your opponents hands. Extra royalty and bonus points are given for big hands, and winning all three hands.
Pineapple is a variation of OFC where you get dealt five cards in the first round, and then three cards in each following round where you set two of the cards and discard the third one.
This app also has the ability to add a joker to the deck that acts as a wild card. Place the joker when it is dealt to you, and then at the end of the round choose what card you would like your joker to be.

Generating perfect randomness is difficult for computers, but I use the best possible algorithms that are available for the resources I have. Random number generators are given a seed, if you know the seed you can predict what numbers will be generated. The algorithm I use to generate the seed is supposed to be completely impractical to discover (ie it would take so long to find it that it is essentially impossible). The algorithm for shuffling I use is the best available given the computing power I have access to. I periodically will go through and make sure that the hands that have been dealt recently are following the distributions that are statistically supposed to be seen.
