Demo Up

Please visit http://psychicballgame.com/ and demo the game. Remember, focus your psychic power on getting the color of your choice to appear.

I just redid the calculation for 10,000 random events for determining one point, as the game is being played now, and if you can affect the probability from 50% to 50.5%, your expected value is 5050, which means you expect to win every point, and your stadard deviation is almost exactly 50. This meas you should expect to win 84.13% of the points.

For any math nerds, this is: for the number of coin flips won out of 10,000, X, with the probability of a coin flip being 50.5%, the probability of winning a point in Psychic Ball is

P[X>5000]=P[Z>1]=.8413

based on the area under the curve of the normal curve looked up in the Z-table of any given statistics book.

So, at some point, once I get user sign up and log in pages up, and a version that records your game data, I will make a conversion chart that will let you look up your measured affect on the random events. In this example, a win rate of 84.13% of the points gets converted into winning 50.5% of the random events I refer to as coin flips (actually the function rand(0,1) in php, zero bein for blue, one being for red).

So, just to be clear, those are the three things that are in line to go up on http://psychicballgame.com/. Again, they are
  • User Sign Up Page
  • User Log in Page
  • Psychic Ball with Database Records

Hope you enjoy it so far!
