What is picture-poker?

Picture Poker is a small homebrew game for the PlayStation Vita, written in C++. The README describes it simply as a game inspired by Luigi's Picture Poker, without going into detail about how the game itself is played or what its rules are. Because the source information provided here is very sparse, this explanation cannot describe the gameplay mechanics beyond what the project name and its inspiration suggest, a picture based poker style game. To build the project from source, the README says you only need to run the make command, which compiles the code using a standard build tool common in C and C++ projects. Once built, or once you download the finished release, you get a file named PicturePoker.vpk, which is the installable package format used for homebrew applications on the PlayStation Vita. Installing this file on a Vita console, typically one that has been set up to run unofficial software, lets you play the game on the actual handheld device rather than on a computer. The README points to a separate LICENSE file in the repository for licensing details rather than stating the terms directly, so the specific license was not included in the source material reviewed here. Given how minimal the project description is, this appears to be a small hobby project by an independent developer, aimed at people who own a PlayStation Vita and are interested in homebrew games, rather than a broadly documented open source tool.
