Texas Hold'Em Lava Dome

THE LICENCE

Everything in this repository -- the browser version in web/, the Wii port in
wii/, the tests, the build files and the documentation -- is licensed under the
PolyForm Noncommercial License 1.0.0, in the LICENSE file beside this one.

Read it, learn from it, build on it, play with it. Any noncommercial purpose is
permitted, and that includes personal projects, teaching and research. What is
not permitted is commercial use: selling the game or a derivative of it,
shipping it inside a product, or running it as part of a business.

This is a change from the Apache License 2.0 that earlier versions of the Wii
port carried. Commits made before that change remain available under Apache 2.0
in the git history; everything from the relicensing commit forward is
PolyForm Noncommercial.

A note on the poker in here, since it invites the question: the rules of Texas
Hold'Em are not anyone's property and this licence does not pretend otherwise.
What is licensed is this implementation of them -- the hand evaluator, the sweep
that proves it against the published five-card frequencies, the dome's ante and
threshold model, and the card rendering built from GRRLIB primitives rather than
image assets.


WHAT IS RESERVED OUTRIGHT

The Wii port ships no art or audio at all -- the cards, pips and table are drawn
procedurally, so wii/sprites/ and wii/audio/ hold only placeholder READMEs.
Nothing is being reserved that is not here.

What is reserved: the game's name, the Texas Hold'Em Lava Dome and magmacrunch
names and marks, the lava palette and visual design, the depth labels drawn from
the band's song titles, and any art or audio added later.

The band is the source of the name, not a reference to it: Texas Hold'Em Lava
Dome is a magmacrunch media record label act, and the game is named after them.
The flavour text on the depth screens is drawn from their song titles. Music is
planned and will come from the same place, so it will be reserved here rather
than licensed from outside -- the same arrangement as Moonlight Drift's and
George Boole's.

Those are Copyright 2026 magmacrunch media, all rights reserved. The licence
covers the software, and it grants no trademark rights.

If you want to use any of it, ask.
