Please run Evaluator.py to see the pretty results on a graph!

#Docker

To run with docker:

docker build --tag poker .

The command above builds the docker image.

docker run -it -v $(pwd):/code --name pokerplayer poker /bin/bash

The command above will put you inside a vm, and will mount your current directory into it. Now you can edit files on your local machine while you run commands in docker.

To enter your docker vm, type:

docker exec -it pokerplayer /bin/bash

To exit your docker vm, type:

exit

If you get an error when running docker, try this to fix it:

docker-machine start default

and

eval "$(docker-machine env default)"
