The horrible user interface that the users are going to have to deal with until the next version
Inspiration: Vincent and his friends were into playing poker, but didn't have actual chips so had to use calculators in order to play -> wanted a program to keep track of chips
What it does: Lets the program keep track of all of the chips in play and automatically does functions such as checking, betting, calling, raising, and folding
How I built it: Brainstormed each function's jobs and broke down the whole game-playing process into different components
Challenges I ran into: Frequent errors that the program gave out because we never checked the type of the variable that we were receiving from the user
Accomplishments that I'm proud of: Actually get something working that could be somewhat useful
What I learned: Planning ahead and discussing with a partner is KEY to making something very complicated working (especially considering all of the different possible outcomes of the user's inputs)
What's next for Poker Chip Tracker: A user-friendly GUI that helps visualize the actual chips that each person has in possession
