I’m curious about your experience with GDScript - which I presume is new to you - because it’s been a stumbling block for me trying Godot.

Its possible he also used the C# variant of Godot. I find GDScript easier for myself, though I come from a Python background. I highly recommend learning Python basics. There are nuanced differences, I think of GDScript as a Python / JavaScript type of language, has the syntax of Python but has some JS / TypeScript things to it.

"ERROR: Mono: Core API hash mismatch." is a strong clue that it's using C# instead of GDScript. (I was on the lookout because the same error appears in my own game. Apparently it's benign.)

I feel the same. I've worked with Unity for quite some time (though gladly don't anymore), but always had trouble trying to learn Unreal. Recently I tried godot and I found it quite easy to get started! I love the game. Had a lot of fun playing for some time. but just one question, shouldn't pair of A be considered "higher than jacks"? Because it looks like it's not: https://imgur.com/a/ov2UP1D

Happy that you like the game :-) Aces are low in this version.

Missed requirement :)

Our partner built a game for Nike that had a big audience - https://appmana.com/watch/lbxx This is a streamed Unity experience built on our unique infrastructure: unlike WebGL or Stadia, it loaded instantly and supports all browsers.

Visually, this game is pretty cool. On the other hand, this is the least fun ‘game’ I’ve played.

This is amazing! Thank you for building it.

Please fix the bug with a pair of Aces. I fell like I'm getting robbed each time it happens.

Also, here's the correct payout odds and basic strategy for "full pay" jacks or better that most people are familiar with: https://wizardofodds.com/games/video-poker/strategy/jacks-or...

An option to reload/restart without having to hit browser refesh would be nice.

An option for basic strategy hints might also be cool but certainly not original/authentic.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Aces are the low card in the game. You are not the first person to say this! I need to look at the math again to make them high cards... However in my opinion (at risk of getting everyones ire) - I think the ace is the "1" card.

This has me very curious. What lead you to believe that an Ace is a low card in poker?

Because it is in an A-5 straight

It's also in a 10-A straight though (generally; I'm not referring to this particular implementation). It also wins in poker hands that come down to simple high card, highest pair, etc.

Essentially, the A-5 straight is the outlier where A behaves abnormally.
