OpenAIVerified interview challenge
Build a three-card poker simulator
Implement a small card game whose ranking and round rules expand across several parts.
Unlock with Full AccessThe challenge
Build a two-player card game and extend it through three parts with additional hand-comparison and folding rules. Cards arrive in a supplied order, so the task centres on game state rather than shuffling.
Several games may be active at once, with deals interleaved and results inspected between actions. Keep each game's state independent as the rules expand and explain what the result means before and after a round finishes.
What you'll practise
Round lifecycle
Handle incomplete, completed and folded games without corrupting their state.
Hand comparison
Extend ranking rules while preserving deterministic results.
