New interface for Tendency

Hi there!

I've been using my software for sometime now and I thought it would be nice to have something that is less obscuring than the current solution. So I have made a new interface design that is just that, less obscuring and configurable. You can now move each individual circle around the screen how ever you like. As you can see in the picture I've had little fun just to show you some ideas of how it might look like.

The information contained in every circle is still the same as before, that is, one circle represent pre-flop, the next on flop, and so on. If one clicks and then hover over the circle you will be shown a tooltip with a playername and the street it represents.

Cheers.

Comments activated!

I thought that commenting was activated by default, but it was not ;( Maybe now I get some input from readers...

I have been working a lot the past month

Hi there!

As I'm self employed, every now and then I have to work just to make some money for me and my family. This is the reason why there has been very little updates the past month.

Although I have not written anything on my blog, I still continue to develop my program and I think it's time to release something soon! It's going to be some-kind shareware I think. Nobody has really commented on this issue so I'll stick to this idea. Feel free to input your thoughts...

I think even though the program is not finished by far, as soon as I release something and get input, it will be very motivating to continue to develop it because there is some interest in it.

One thing I have thought about is where to put the software for download, it would be interesting to have some-kind of tracking for it...

Cheers...

Every bit of information is good information!

I have received more & more input about the program from different forums and I think this is great. This makes me believe that I could in-fact continue to add feature to the program according to request from opinion contributers! 

I have not yet decided how I should release a first alpha version of this software, but I think I'll have to do something like this! Release something but with some-kind of limitation, to no cost! One solution could be this, the software only works for lets say 15 minutes, after that  you have to restart it! Please comment on what you think could be a good solution.

Cheers!

How to use the Tendency software!

I'll soon post a new video that shows how to use this software and my thoughts around the concept. In all it's simplicity the colors and action numbers actually show a lot of information that might not be obvious, but in a very compact way. 

Cheers

Tendency interface picture. Each player has their own color box. Each box consists of 4 rows that represent preflop/flop/turn/river. Topmost row is preflop. The numbers on each row is the sum of all actions on each street, so far in the game. An action is one of the following ones: folding/checking/calling/betting/raising. Lets say a player1 calls preflop, then some-other player raises behind him, if he decides to call this raise, then he has two actions so far on this street in this specific hand. The dashed lines represent, from left to rigth, 20/40/60/80 percent of the actions performed on each street. By looking at these lines one can quickly get a overview of how many hands a player raises vs folds, and so on. Then we have the last bit of information in the box, the colors. 

• Blue = Folding
• Gray = Checking
• Pink = Calling
• Green = Betting
• Red = Raising

Simple & Intuitive, don't you think?
