Writing Poker Game Logic Live With F# And Active Patterns | FULL STREAM (With Timestamps) 

Thanks Asti!

Thanks Marco!

@@bengobeil933 I'm still not at the end yet but I believe that for the partial active patterns, you don't need to wrap the option. It's enough to just return the option and the compiler will figure out the rest. This is also reflected by the ms docs.

Thanks!

u should post videos in English! /o/

@@glauberbrennon my English is bad :(

I might do another one next week. Follow on twitter to know ahead of time! @GobeilBen

Before you changed the Suited partial active pattern to use FiveCards, I had an idea of another way to easily test if the cards were suited using distinctBy. Here's a simplified version (where Cards only contain suits to remove some noise for the example): type Suit = Hearts | Spades | Clubs | Diamonds type Card = Card of Suit let (|Suited|_|) (cards : Card list) = let isSuited = cards |> List.distinctBy (function Card c -> c) |> List.length = 1 if isSuited then Suited (Some cards) else None

@@bengobeil933 Just wanted to say thanks for doing these videos. You're right that there's not enough F# content out there and you've inspired me to start blogging about F# again. I've been doing so at work for about two months now (trying that difficult battle of trying to convince my coworkers to try out F# instead of only using C#). I'd like to get back to blogging on my personal blog again too. This episode reminded me of how much I enjoyed exploring things like active patterns in the past (also picked up some nice tips from you). If you're interested in checking out my blog post on active patterns, I'd love to hear any feedback. jason-down.com/2017/01/24/f-pattern-matching-part-2-active-patterns/ Thanks again and I hope you keep the videos rolling. Looking forward to part 2 of this stream. PS - I was already subscribed to you on twitter, but noticed the RU-vid notification before the tweet.

I’m glad to hear that Jason, thanks!

Yes I pay for it.

@@bengobeil933 Cool, it seems pretty steep. I thought you might be getting one of the free licenses for open source. If you are looking for video ideas I'd love to see one talking about getting going as an F# contractor. Thanks for the great F# content!
