[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 675540] Re: gbrainy problems

[sven]

Hi Jordi,

Thx for commenting. Well, timeout problem was in my case that, playing
medium difficulty, a 4x4 symbol grid got the same timeout (default 4
Sec., is it?) as a 3x3 symbol grid 2 games earlier. That's not well
planned, or the 4x4 grid was wrongly categorized in its config.

But whats more important: the clock should start after reading
description AND pressing some "Start" button. The current 3 second
countdown is hardly enough to read the game description. Whats more, my
default font sizes are configured quite small (netbook), but this yields
the game description text to be too small, too. I think game description
should have a fixed (and bigger, perhaps even 12pt) font size not linked
to desktop font settings.

Regarding translation. I am freelance IT translator with 12 years
experience. If you have some standardized website setup for gBrainy
translation I might peek in from time to time and proof-read one or two
sentences. I am quite good in guessing right without context (the most
essential tech translator skill ;)

Cheers
sven

2 of 10 points for the effort of trying. gBrainy is a great idea for a free game. Unfortunately, right now it's unplayable and frustrating. On a quick try, I encountered Word riddles with words not matching the description/required solution, Quiz description is not prominent enough in game display. Timeout quizzes should be enabled only after an extra button press as I don't have enough time to read the description before the game starts. More complicated symbol quizzes need more time for remembering than smaller symbol grids. I use the German version which included 2 semantic errors in 5 games, making it impossible to understand the game. Translations need correct proof-reading as this is essential for game experience.

Regards
Sven
