Comments: | I just saw some screenshots of 'global mines' at the site of Steven Pettersson. Looks as good as a Kylie in hotpants. So congrats to the programmers!
Will it be available for free (if it becomes the new standard for minesweepers?)?
I hope so, otherwise I'll retire (and I'm not even started yet!)
Goodnight my beloved freaks![]() |

Comments: | Hey, just beat my score this morning, after not really trying. In fact the game before, I think I was almost at 100. I was thinking to myself how slow i was going, when I got a 144 3bv board, but like i said i wasn't really into it. Needless to say i was quite suprized when the record window poped up. If i was only trying...... I told my roommate I would retire after i beat my score agian, but one second isn't anything to get excited about, so continue sweeping I will, i just won't tell him. Shooting for under a minute. |

Comments: | I have no problem clicking the wheel at all. Of course, I've never had a Microsoft mouse, so I can't really compare. At work, I have a regular logitech "ball"-mouse that has a wheel that's a bit heavier, so perhaps it's different for each model. The one on BestBuy is slightly different from the one I have.
And on another note: I'm at 2-15-52 for this period. Third time sub-70 for me ![]() |

Comments: | I went to Best Buy to check out that Logitech optical wheel mouse. I really like the grip, but the wheel button is too difficult to click. With Microsoft mice, a the wheel button requires only a light press of the finger... I wish Logitech would make it the same way. I use the wheel button all the time when surfing the net. |

Comments: | i finally fixed my computer yesterday. the past three months i had to play on my roommate's computer which is really slow. plus the mouse is pretty bad. that made me somewhat change my style to a more efficient one till i got down to times like 72 for exp.
then yesterday i played about two hours on my own pc and i tied my expert record and missed my best int by only 1 sec.
i'm really optimistic that i will start beating my records soon.

Comments: | I just bought a new mouse. Actually, it's the same one I had before (Logitech optical wheel mouse; the basic OEM model), but it has greatly improved electronics and/or optics. The one I had before suffered from what's known as the 'twitch glitch', i.e. the cursor starts jumping uncontrollably if you move fast. This one is almost completely free of the glitch. It's extremely smooth and accurate and has that great logitech feel that I've come to trust. I got my second ever 52 with it yesterday. So if you're looking for a new mouse, this might be the one for you. |

Comments: | Hey Zeke, the crappy timer has always been there mate. I think it works according to the computer's timer or something, so that when the computer's clock changes seconds, so does the minesweeper timer. So at the start, the timer can go almost instantly to 2 after your first click (Also, the timer always starts at 1, not 0, when you make your first click). I know how pissed off you feel. Several games which should have been 4's changed to 5 right on the last click. I got the same 2-click board twice in consecutive days, but was denied a 1 on both occasions because of the timer (now I have become paranoid and always start my beginner games at the same square in the hope of getting that board again, but I haven't had any luck yet). So basically, everone's got the same problems as you mate. |

Comments: | As you can see by my times, i'm not that good. I just have fun playing. The reason I'm writing this is because I have a question. Does anyone else's clock on the board act funny? Right when I make my first click, it starts at 1 second, not zero. Also, most of the time, the first 2 seconds will go by very fast as in less than a second. I feel ripped off. I'm just curious as to whether anyone else experiences this. |

Comments: | Manu, Id say that I have missed more fast boards by clicking on a random mine after just a couple clicks than I could ever count in one lifetime (well, maybe not that many). But it is easy to miss a fast board because you just clicked on the wrong square off the bat. |

Comments: | Hey guys, Sorry for not writing back sooner. I was in England over the weekend acting as a chess trainer for my (former) school. It was a pretty cool trip apart from getting caught up in train strikes and sleeping on the floor of Birmingham train station for the night. (God bless the British rail system). On the minesweeper front, I've been trying to incorporate flagging into my game and frankly I'm finding it extremely tough. Just a matter of practice I suppose. I imagine that if I learn to use efficient flagging, my expert time will fall into line with my other non-flagging times. I've only recently started looking at this discussion page and I seem to note that a controversy was being discussed regarding "pre-viewed" boards? I can't say I'm au fait with it, but isn't it kind of sad that people are hacking into minesweeper in order to get better times? Owen, I'll email you shortly. We must meet and have a game or two of chess. (Your minesweeper times are your untimate revenge) Happy sweeping to all! |

Comments: | ok, sub 60 is on its way, I have switched my computer to an actual desk and my times have jumped significantly. I'm scoring mid 60's on 180 3BV's. I just haven't finished a sub 140 3BV in a while. Sorry for the babling, I just have no one else to tell. |

Comments: | Me again. I've just made a little table of all my finished expert games of which I have integrated Sorin's recorder values into my screenshot. Follow the link. Could do the same for intermediate if someone's interested. |

Comments: | hey roelof: www.stefan-pettersson.nu. before we all get carried away, this version isn't yet accepted (tomer starts on 0 so 1 sec advantage)...stefan is still making changes and hasn't finished the product yet (for instance, if you flag a lot, then very often the left button starts functioning as the double-click function), but it's still the best i've seen and he's hoping to make it work. stephan: thanks. i was looking for, you know sorin's program's stats on left vs right clicks? pettersson's version gives 3bv, left clicks, right clicks, left/s and right/s. i would like a solely left-clicker to compare some 3bv to actual left clicks completed stats. (as opposed to best times for 3bv, i'd like 3bv vs left clicks) |

Comments: | Further to previous messages:
I just finished an 8x8 custom game with 30 mines. I have the screenshot if anyone's interested.
BTW, I have pretty much retired from active sweeping. Would have been nice to sub60 first, but it's time to quit.![]() |

Comments: | Damien, I don't understand exactly what nf-3BV-stats you are looking for. I have some min, max, avg statistics on my website (follow the link). Usually, I need 20% more clicks as 3BV-possible for finishing. |

Comments: | On Windows minesweeper... In my opinion, very few boards are better 100% clicking. You can always find at least one mine that is better to mark. The problem is to see those strategic mines immediatly. It would be very interesting to know how many mines a perfect player would mark on average on an expert board. I mean a player who would mark a mine only if he could uncover at least 2 surrounding squares thanks to it. |

Comments: | From then on, I was worshipped at shrines all over and celebrations were held in my honour. The sun drenched goodness on its beloved children below and all led rich and plentiful lives. Evil had been banished below. This time good had overcome evil. But good does not always triumph and evil constantly waits in darkness for the tiniest crack through which it can reappear and contaminate, spoiling the minds of many, sowing the seeds of evil, rooting itself under every good thing till all is spoiled and rotten. So beware and always keep an ear alert and at least one eye open. |

Comments: | I remember the day well. It was cold and bleak. The trees were bare and the skies were darkened and grey. Nobody was to be seen outside. If not for the spirits, I would have felt absolutely alone. The heaven's rumbled and opened, unleashing torrents of water that swept the streets clean. I quickly cleansed my body in the rainwater and thereafter robed myself in black and purple. Those colours granted me luck in battle as they decorated my battle atire. With the heavens still open and the spirits still wandering, I left my whereabouts. Watching my back, I stealthily made my way to the grounds of battle. There awaited my arch-enemy in the forceful winds and rain. He was clad in the typical black metal armour that all the Minions of the Underworld wore. On his head lay a pointed black helmet set alive with gargoyles and living blood. His weapon was sheer and simple - a colossal club that pounded enemies into unrecogniseable pulp. His eyes glowed red and his face was painted evil by demons. The skies suddenly darkened and all light was quenched. Horrific noises were heard from above and below as demons and angels collided. Great sparks that signalled the beginning lit up the darkened sky. For a thousand years, we battled through toil and torrent with the advantage swaying from one side the the other, till at last one cold ominous night, the Chosen One struck the decisive deadly blow that signalled a change of gargantuan proportions. Blood and puss seaped slowly out of its gaping wound till it's glowing red eyes drowned and dulled forever. The heaven's ceased their downfall. The clouds retreated and the sun revealed itself for the first time in over a thousand years. At once the torrents disappeared and the ground lay dry and warm. A new era was about to begin - one of truth and valour, just as the one of old was ending. Evil minions all over the realm screached and howled as they sunk into the earth. From then on, I was worshipped at shrines all ov |

Comments: | i've been playing stefan peterson's global minesweeper, which he hopes can become the new version we've all been talking about. (standard levels, 6 levels of encryption, online scorelists that submit directly from your comp, built-in timer, improved board generator, 3BV built in with left-right click counter)...there's a few things still being worked out but it's great and the best i've seen so far. reason i write...i just did a 58s game where 3BV was 206, but i used 186 left clicks (and 213 right). i'm not sure how to work it out, but i think this'll provide a way to work out whether flagging or not is more efficient... the way i play is 3-5 opening left clicks; when i'm flagging, if there are say 3 mines to flag i flag the first two with right clicks and then on the third, i right/left click practically at the same time (left just after so i flag then double-click without having to re-press the right button). so, of my clicks, i did 5 left-clicks by themselves, 181 double-clickflags, and 32 right clicks by themselves, which i think is the same as 218 single clicks. i would like to see some 3bv stats like such from non-flaggers like vincent and paul to see how this flag-style compares to the efficiency of non. see what i mean? hope it works. |

Comments: | I agree with Manu. I am hoping that in not too long we will have the new "perfect" minesweeper, and all the old records will be erased. I still think that we need the minesweeper council just so that we have some higher level of decision making within the community. When the nomination poll closes (on Nov. 1st I think) we could create a short list of canidates (only if they agree to be on the ballot of course). What does everyone else think? |

Comments: | About Roli's 9 : all I want is that it is treated like Matt's 10 ( and Jon's 12 and probably others ). Accepted or not. Anyway the only important thing now is to create this new minesweeper. A perfect one . As perfect as possible... |

Comments: | It varies quite a bit, I must say. On the three newest videos on my site, I flag 79, 77 and 91 mines on a 45, 43 and a 44-game. It's not a planned thing, I still play the same way I used to, just clicking alot and fast, so no real changes in my strategy. - Lanyjé |
