Below follows some frequently asked questions about Cubeia Poker. If you have any others, please hit the forums and ask away!
What is Cubeia Poker?
The Cubeia Poker was initially made as a demonstration game for our server platform Firebase. We chose poker since it is a well known game the industry can easily relate to.
What is the status?
Cubeia Poker was started some years ago, is under active development again from Q3 2011. It is "75%" complete server side, but needs extensive work on the client and the back-office to be a competitive product.
Is there a demo?
Yes, there is and you can download it
here. It is a Windows-only demo we put together for ICE 2010. It might be a bit slow starting since it was made for USB-stick and uses a very simple database, but be patient and it should open.
Why should I use it?
If you're contemplating building your own poker system, starting from scratch is very expensive. If you on the other hand take Cubeia Poker and extend it, your time to market will will be greatly shortened.
Is it open source?
Yes! The Cubeia Poker is licensed under AGPL as is all Cubeia products. Commercial licenses are available.
Can I see the source?
Sure,
here it is!
Do you offer support?
As the Poker is still under development, and not yet finalized, we can offer very limited support. We do support Cubeia Firebase of course, but we'll wait with the Poker until we feel it is more mature.
How about performance?
You can find a performance analysis
here (PDF). It is 3 years old and we're producing a new one as this is written, but it shows how you can easily fit 10K players on a single server, and scale upwards from there.
