Discover Brain Games

All of a sudden, Ravi Mehta dropped a mail to me asking my views on http://www.discover-brain-games.com/ I approached this website to find different online games in those web-pages. With a curious mind to know abow these games, I went on playing few of those (in fact many of those). But I was really shocked when he came back and said that he has developed those and looking for opinions if those can be transformed into mobile games. No wonder, his scholar mind is definately capable of developing such thing and then I came to a conclusion and wrote him the following about his games -
=====================================
Ravi,

Before I post a review for your site, i would rather suggest some thing to you which I think would make your site more interesting

1. About 8 queens: Placing all 8 queens seem to be rather a difficult task. Any person with normal IQ would try this 4-5 times and might land up saying this is not possible. I would rather suggest to extend this game. Start from placing 4 queens and increase 1 queen in next stage. This would give the user a reason to celebrate and such a guy would certainly get back for the next difficult stage. :)

2. Pie game: this looks like an endless game. Probably it has a lenght when the user gets certain number of pie proportions right but that looks unachievable. This makes it lenghty, i was playing this for lot of time but you know... Rather you can make this multiplayer and keep it best of 10 or something like that, alternatively, think of finding 10 portions right in less number of attempts. Let users compare their scores,

3. Baloons: sometimes the result is in 2 digit + user has to press enter. thus aparently, on a avg, one has to press 3 keys to get it right and by that time the baloon is missed. Result, low score which might lead to disinterest. Rather, if you can take care that the result is only 1 digit and remove the requirement of pressing enter key. That means the user would require pressing of single key to score. This would result in high scores and in my opinion, users would like it.

4. Wall game, sudoku and other look good.

If you have got the message clearly, i am advocating making these games a little easier (within the reach of normal iq), competition-oriented (multi-player game), etc.

Looking forward for more games from you.

Please let me know what you think then i can proceed posting a review on the blog page as previously said.

You may optionally think of placing some info about http://www.need-junction.com/ on your page.

Regards,
Shekhar

====================================

The morale of the story is I would be obliged if you can have a look at http://www.discover-brain-games.com/ and post your reviews as comments to this blog. I shall, in return update Ravi about your comments. Please take those pains and let him know what you think :) Maybe these review would help him to gift us a very good online gaming site...

Rajasthan Royals can still lift the IPL3 trophy...

(After the MATCH-50 of IPL3)

This is for the fans of Rajasthan Royals. The hopes are still alive. Go RR Go!!
Though these are only the thoughts and the race is still on but all the supporters of Rajasthan Royals still think that RR still rocks and they can lift the IPL trophy.

Here is a brief analysis how…
The current IPL situation after the Match - 50 is

Fri Apr 16           51st match - Kings XI Punjab v Deccan Chargers
This would be the critical match and Kings XI Punjab should win if Rajasthan Royals have to proceed towards numero UNO

Sat Apr 17           52nd match - Royal Challengers Bangalore v Mumbai Indians
The result of this match would not affect the position of Rajasthan Royals in any way.

Sat Apr 17           53rd match - Kolkata Knight Riders v Rajasthan Royals
Finally the DO-OR-DIE match for Rajasthan Royals where they do not have any other choice but to win.

Sun Apr 18           54th match - Kings XI Punjab v Chennai Super Kings
Another favour the Kings XI would have to do for Rajasthan Royals, else Chennai Super Kings would tie with Royals and with better run-rate

Sun Apr 18           55th match - Delhi Daredevils v Deccan Chargers
Delhi Daredevels win would push the Chargers out of the race

Mon Apr 19           56th match - Kolkata Knight Riders v Mumbai Indians
The result of this match would not affect the position of Rajasthan Royals in any way.

In this way, Rajasthan Royals can register their presence in TOP-4

Rajasthan Royals would have to overcome the strongest resistance - Mumbai Indians
Wed Apr 21           Semi-Final - Mumbai Indians v Rajasthan Royals

The result of this match - the second Semis - would not affect the position of Rajasthan Royals in any way, statistically.
Thu Apr 22           Semi-Final - Delhi Daredevils v Royal Challengers Bangalore

The result of this match - the second Semis - would not affect the position of Rajasthan Royals in any way, statistically.
Sat Apr 24           3rd Place Play-off - Mumbai Indians v Royal Challengers Bangalore

Here would be the MORTAL COMBAT, where Rajasthan Royals can get to lift the trophy.
Sun Apr 25           Final - Rajasthan Royals v Delhi Daredevils

And here is your winner - RAJASTHAN ROYALS
RR rulzzz!!!

Some memories...

I had composed this mail around 20 months back, today I made it public...

===============================================

(Sunday, May 25, 2008)


Hi All,

I have sent this to only those whom I am missing at his stage of my life…(one can find few names in TO and few more are in CC…This discrimination is done by the gmail people and not by me…4 in TO and 4 in CC)…this is to convey that I am enjoying my life in the best way I can…(am I happy or not…that's a different question…)… I would have enjoyed much more if we all would have been here together…(and please bear with my English…you all know hat its not that good…again the flow…comment in the bracket are…off-the-topic)

It is a pleasant weather over here…its showery outside…the atmosphere is much more like what we have during Shravan…here is a lush green open space in front of my room…within my room…there is a tv, a wooden cupboard, a bed, a safe case, an "aram khurchi" two lamps…and few more things(these people are art-lovers)…there are few big trees between the room and the ground…leaf of those trees is like "pimpal"…but the shape of the tree is little different)…and there is a small cottage next to that…(T on the keyboard is not working properly…leave that…I have to press it little harder…ok)…there is something written on the cottage…let me see….it is…schutzenhalle…dictionary meaning…shooting-hall…may be I shall try going there tomorrow…this is small village…with lot of open space…and big cottages around…(hold on…my colleague has come…and I have to move out…sorry this breaks the flow…)…very cool, pleasant and quiet environment outside...right now…(very close to the place in my dreams where I would like to settle down)

Yesterday…I had a nice little walk around the town…The place is Bad Westerncotten…the day-night timing is bit weird…during this time of the year…you can see the sun…right from 4.45 in the morning…till around 9.30 night time…(I know is tough to believe…but like my other things which are tough to believe…this is also true…)…while taking a round around the town…my clock was telling me that its 6 in the evening but the sun was shouting at me saying - it is 12.00 noon Indian time…thanks to the breeze…which made the sun ineffective…( 6.00 pm over here is like 12.00 noon at our place…but you never sweat as a gentle wind keeps on blowing…)

Today morning…I woke up…went in the balcony to see the morning time sun…then took a bath and finally was surprised to check the clock…it was showing 4.55 a.m…and then after half an hour…went back to sleep…and woke up at 10.30…my fellow friends told me that I am already late for the breakfast…and they all tried to call me a lot for around half an hour…(finally I had to take the breakfast alone…thanks to the late ending second sleep…infact due to this...i got a chance to know local people here)

During the breakfast…initially, I thought it would be difficult to find the veggie food…but it was there…had lot of jam with the bread…orange juice…and fruit salad…I had a heavy breakfast… and it was good…(breakfast is complementary with the stay…normally it costs around 7 euro…if you are not staying here…cost of the stay is 17.5 euro per day…and its going from my pocket… L…)…lady at the dining hall…Khamelia (21-23)…(I don't know the exact spelling but she pronounced her name like that)…knew little English…I just told her "Kiene Flesh" (no flesh) and she helped me in preparing the plate…(had 4 rounds to the serving place…the owner (55-60) of this place "Kurhotel Wall CafĂ©" has his cottage just next to this place…he has one son - Stefen (23 – working in clerical section at the army base) and one daughter (19 – busy doing her studies and teen life)…Some time back Stefen helped me to set up the net connection at the room…and that's how am able to send this to you…

Its just the second day today…and much more to come…around 1 full month...and then back home...

Till then…bye…

Shekhar
