Hi all. Since the last Brain Workshop was released 3 years ago, I have continued development by making it compatible with Python 3 and fixing many of the bugs which had made it unplayable for me.

Original project is here http://brainworkshop.sourceforge.net/

Some changes:
  • Elements on the screen scale depending on the window size, making it much more usable if you have a hidpi monitor or use the game fullscreened
  • Fullscreen should automatically scale to screen size
  • Font size scales based on window size
    • Positioning of items also scales with window size
    • Window position and font size are determined with one function to do scaling, thereby making it easier in the future to make adjustments
  • Set fonts differently for serif and for monospace fonts, eventually to allow them to be configurable.
  • Now compatible with python 3
    • Fixed issues with at least 3 modules not loading due to renaming or changed semantics. (Done in a way to maintain python2 compatibility)
    • Fix alignment of the polygons/icons in the grid due to changes in division in python3
  • Compatible with both python 2 and python 3!
  • Fixed a bunch of different crashes
I had originally just made these fixes for myself many months ago and put it on GitHub. Some people have started using it so I thought I should post it here as well and hopefully help more people out.

Cheers!

Thanks for the report. I've fixed the bug and the icons should now disappear properly when advancing in self-paced mode. Let me know if that doesn't fix it after my latest commit.

If you would like to implement that, that would be great. Pull requests on GitHub are encouraged. As well as anyone else who would like to contribute.

I don't seem to see this on Linux in audio only mode 2-back. Does audio work fine for you in other modes? You are using Windows right?

I deleted all old versions and restored configuration flies,for I found that brainworkshop v5.0 read data from v4.8.4 or other old versions.Now it is running well.Thank you all the same.

Iqmindware director Mark Ashton Smith sent me the i3 mindware test version without activation code.You can download it there.Please leave the profile code input text box empty and press ENTER on your keyboard. Write down the code generated in a small paper to use it if you want to train with the same profile later.

This is a far superior version to traditional n-back, I recommend its implementation.


Unless you're a beginner I have no idea why people would waste their time on the traditional n-back task.

And unless you're a beginner or aren't advanced I have no idea why people would waste their time on the improved task I just mentioned as opposed to say ontological streaming, which is talked about here - https://groups.google.com/forum/#!searchin/brain-training/jewish$20script%7Csort:date/brain-training/gh5xgRRwVtc/wZnxboqiAgAJ
