I have just uploaded the first alpha version of BrainKing for Android application to Google Play, so anybody who owns an Android device and wants to give it a shot, should be able to do it.
BrainKing for Android Please note that it is in a highly unfinished state and not too useful at the moment.
I have decided to put the application to Google Play although it is far from being mature and completed. The reason is that people who want to help with testing should be able to install it quite easily and it won't be necessary to notify about new versions - Android and Google Play should handle it automatically. Wednesday, October 3. 2012BrainKing for Android
As I unofficially announced a week ago, I have started to code a BrainKing client for Android phones (and tablets) and, unlike other BrainKing side projects, this time I am determined to finish it.
In fact, I am far from being an experienced Android developer at the moment because I had started to learn it just a month ago, so please do not expect me to release a full featured BrainKing application in a near future. However, some work is already completed and the first beta version could be available in … well … sooner or later, surely this year. Meanwhile, if you have an Android device, please do not hesitate to test my very first Android application and, if you like it, leave a nice review on Google Play.
Thursday, April 5. 2012More Easter eggs
First of all, I am very glad to see that more than 40 BrainKing users already took advantage of getting at least 10 free Brains in our Paid membership for free! promotion. This action was silently introduced a couple of weeks ago and since everybody has a great chance to receive not just free Brains (that can be used to win more Brains and finally turned to a membership subscription) but also improve own poker skills with no risk, I am sure that more and more people will find it worth trying.
And now to the subject: Easter Egg! Since the number of requests to create the Easter Action this year is quite high again, it is here and this is it. Everybody has a chance to get up to 125% bonus to a Brain Rook membership level order, based on the popular system of color codes. Let me remind the rules of this action: When you see a small flashing light bulb on the Main Page or next to Paid Membership link at the left column, you know a bonus is active and can be used. But don't hesitate for a long time - some bonuses (especially the one which adds 125% to the subscribed period) can be active only for several minutes. The bonuses can be used only if a purchased membership is for Brain Rook level and 1 year or longer period and it is not a Brains payment. This action will be active until cancelled. The day when the action ends is not specified but, regarding the Easter nature of the promotion, it should happen in April 2012. Furthermore, I would like to remind an opportunity to obtain a Black Rook lifetime membership for a fraction of its list price, if you succeed to get the Bonus conqueror achievement. Do not hesitate to take your chance. Sunday, April 17. 2011Recent changes of BrainKing features
As we have announced in the Server News, BrainKing is currently under a process of optimization and tuning, in order to improve the overall performance and response time, mostly by rewriting certain functions that cause too much CPU load. There is nothing to worry about - everything is working OK and many players will probably notice no important changes. Anyway, I would like to clarify what exactly has been modified and why:
After implementing the mentioned changes, a couple of small bugs appeared, as usual:
I hope I listed all important things here. If not, please leave a comment. Sunday, September 12. 2010One million percent
Please don't take this short article too seriously.
![]() However, it still shows that BrainKing has more than 140,000 visitors a month (unique, more or less) which is surely a great number and higher than I expected. Although my respect to Google products is, uh, all kinds of good and bad (based on our experiences from the past), their Analytics tool is quite useful, providing a lot of interesting data. For instance, let's see a decreasing ratio of Internet Explorer users:
Well done, Mozilla and Google. Friday, September 10. 2010Prize tournaments redesigned
I am sure that some active people who create prize tournaments on a regular basis have already noticed that, but since no official documentation has been released yet, I think it is time to produce a little clarification of the subject.
I should also note that this article is related to BrainKing prize tournaments with no entry fee (or freerolls, if I use an online poker terminology). It does not affect Brains tournaments. Well, what is actually changed?
I have noticed that a couple of people have already tested this system and nobody reported any bugs. It is a good news. Wednesday, September 1. 2010September action of Black Rooks
I have been thinking, thinking and thinking of any possible improvements of our September Action that was announced in August and successfully tested as well. Improvements that would be fair to everyone.
I didn't come to any conclusion, so let's follow the test week pattern. With a small bonus.
Everything will be properly announced tomorrow. Tuesday, August 24. 2010BrainKing and IPv6
I have just noticed a lost and found draft I made 4 months ago, so I have decided to publish it at last.
OK, let me make a few notes:
There is one thing I really love about it. BrainKing has been already given a IPv6 range of /64 type, which means that when the old protocol is fully replaced by this one, we will be allowed to use exactly 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 different IP addresses for our projects. I guess it should be enough for even larger companies than BrainKing. Tuesday, March 16. 2010Easter and logo
Yes, I know that BrainKing game site has its own blog and it would be nice to post some news occasionally.
There will be also a few additions to the current BrainKing in a near future, mostly because it is our good concern to reflect demands of the market (phew, what a terrible sentence). More details later. Sunday, December 6. 2009Dynamic home page
Although our current home page (BrainKing) is much more detailed than the former one "white background and some short text", it still looks too static to be worth visiting for other than a login purpose. I would like to make it a little different for every single visit. For example:
Any other ideas? Actually, BrainKing's home page will be the only page that would keep the current castle design (with towers, flying dragon etc.), so it might be really nice to make it a little more attractive. And I like to collect original ideas. Friday, December 4. 2009Email support is doomed
Emails are not reliable. There is too many spam these days, some sources claim that it is about 96% of all sent emails.
To address this problem, we prepared the following improvements for BrainKing 3.0:
As a result, the only emails generated by BrainKing should be the ones confirming that you created your BrainKing account successfully. When people know that any other emails are probably scam, there is a good chance to increase security of their BrainKing accounts. Friday, December 4. 2009Fixed or variable width?
As Facebook users have probably noticed, Facebook uses a fixed width layout - no matter how big your web browser window is or what screen resolution you use, the Facebook "active" area always has the same width and is displayed at the center of the window.
BrainKing, on the other hand, uses a flexible width viewport for its inner space. The "towers" (left and right column) are always positioned at the very left and right edge of the browser window, and the main area (inner space) width is automatically adjusted to fill the remaining space. Fixed layout: 1) Advantages - the page width is always the same, so it is very easy to find the right position and size for any elements you want to place. It is not necessary to optimize the content of "boxes" to fit all possible settings of user web browsers. 2) Disadvantages - if your web browser window width is too small, it won't be capable of displaying the whole page and you would be forced to use the horizontal scrollbar to see the right part of the page. If it is too wide, the page will occupy just the central part and there would be bad looking (and unused) margins. People might be frustrated that they cannot enlarge the active area to put more information there. Flexible layout: 1) Advantages - the browser window space is always fully used and if you want to show more text without scrolling down the page, it is easy to enlarge the window and get more space. 2) Disadvantages - it requires a more complex system to size and position elements that should be customizable (resize, move, collapse etc.). It might be more difficult for programmers who want to contribute their own applications, regarding their visual design. Any opinions? In fact, I always preferred a flexible layout because a narrow content looked terrible on my 30'' monitor when the browser window is maximized, but I agree that I am probably not a typical user of the web. In my opinion, a good compromise - horizontally extendable inner space with fixed width columns - would be the best solution. Thursday, December 3. 2009BrainKing groups or pages
First of all, I would like to explain that this article was formerly posted to BrainKing page on Facebook. However, since Facebook does not provide any working protection against abuse and spam, the page was closed and I decided to repost my ideas here. At least, BrainKing.info is under my control.
The article follows: This is one of the most important planned features for BrainKing 3.0. As you know, the only current way to make a group of BrainKing users is to create a fellowship and invite paying members to join. However, there are some drawbacks:
Our goal is to create a Facebook-like system of user developed pages and groups, featuring discussion boards, photo albums, a smart notification system etc. It would also solve the problem of asking me for new public discussion boards - if there is a topic you would like to discuss with friends or anyone else, just create a page and invite them. Simple and effective. Our long term goal is to change BrainKing's former business plan (to be a game server and nothing else) and make it closer to the social network idea. I know that there are some hard core players who do not like this idea but I am sure that they would profit on it as well - the more registered users we have, the better is a chance that new game opponents appear for everyone, even for those who just want to play games and nothing else. Wednesday, December 2. 2009Simplicity is the key (part 3)
Just a side note, I am glad to confirm that BrainKing's December action was successfully and automatically started by BrainKing itself and many people have already caught their bonuses (most of them are lucky enough to get the 100% (red) one).
When the new version of BrainKing is ready, the vacation system will be properly introduced with a good description and examples of typical situations. I am sure that people will get used to it because it is really simple, transparent and, what is the most important, does not allow any kind of cheating.
Tuesday, December 1. 2009December Action starts soon
In fact, the announced December (or Christmas) Action will be started in 3 and half hours, so if I write "it starts tomorrow", it should be true for the most of BrainKing users. And since I already received some questions and even speculations about a background or very meaning of the action, let me post a short clarification (although I am sure that the majority of BrainKing community does not need it at all
And if you have any ideas how to improve the action or make a better one in the future, please do not hesitate to add your comment.
