Board for everybody who is interested in BrainKing itself, its structure, features and future.
If you experience connection or speed problems with BrainKing, please visit Host Tracker and check "BrainKing.com" accessibility from various sites around the world. It may answer whether an issue is caused by BrainKing itself or your local network (or ISP provider).
thechosen0ne: The site itself is not dead in the sense that people are logging in every day to play games. But I don't think the creator is planning any new changes other than maybe an occasional bugfix.
thechosen0ne: Yea, the owner has been spending more time with "real life", so programming & this site has been put on the back burner. Now he still fixes problems and bugs, but not much on "new programming" for awhile now. I hope and think at some point if he doesn't sell the site, he may get board and do some new programming.
As I'm sure he will read this, maybe some easy game variants - like a large logic game with extra color/spaces - or an "express ludo" game with 2 dice instead of 1.... stuff that should be easier to program as he can copy most of the code from the original..... I can hope.
thechosen0ne: ... my body has no new features since I first started using it... though I am still pretty ok with it (well, flying would be nice, really, or X-ray vision). Why the assumption that everything needs to get 'better' continuously or be unworthy? Some things are just great as they are. Just generally.
Yes, BrainKing could use some polishing in some corners.
So... why don't we go and code a better variant? There is probably no copyright on it, and I doubt Fencer would care too much. If everyone that complained here in the last ten years writes a (correct) line of code for every complaint, it is probably more than halfway done.
