I actually wouldn't mind this LAN idea, it would be interesting to see everyone elses style of play. It could help beginners pick up on their game much more quickly. However the only version of minesweeper I love and play is the original ![]() |

@Rodrigo : I think so too ![]() @Marc : At least find half an hour in a week to play mines, just to stay in form, you never know what competition can be held and with big prizes ... Seriously I was thinking about that, Microsoft or Logitech could do it without problems, it would be great marketing trick for there mice. LAN competition with the best 25 world players...so we could see who is cheating and who is not ![]() |

And why not see Sorin?!? In version I played with Gustaf (www.worldminesweepernetwork.com) we see each other board but it doesnt matter because if you wanna play fast you are not allowed to look elsewhere, you''ll just lose time, for people with exp>80 however it could be used...but fully configurable multiplayer version would allow us change everything, first opening, same board, seeing each others board etc. so I recommend you try this version I mentioned thousand times and tell me your opinions (Sorin, Curtis and Rodrigo)...I think its pretty interesting. We could define rules very easy ![]() ![]() |

They have to play the same board but they should see the other player's board. I think at the start of the game an opening should be automatically opened to avoid shifts. |

@Detrusor: Well, if you take a statistical look at the question, then every board has the same probability to appear. The dreamboard is as frequent to appear as a board will all mines in the first three rows, or a board with the initials of my name written using mines. Or a totally random board! But computers use a pseudo-random number generator and it`s absolutely not perfect. I believe it`s impossible that a intermediate or expert board with a 3BV of 1 or 2 will ever appear... @Stevan: I have already thought about a multiplayer minesweeper, but I came across a lot of 'fairity' questions. First: two players would compete in two boards, side by side, and the winner would be the one who finishes in less time, right? Second: for the game to be fair, both should play the same board, ok? If true, then it`s unfair. Let`s suppose someone starts from the left side of the board and the other from the right side. Both them will see the other`s board and will know the placement of the mines before opening squares! This should NEVER happen in a fair game. So Third: a solution would be to make both play different boards, but with the same 3BV. Even like this, boards with the same 3BV may have different `difficulty` levels... what makes the game unfair again! I would like to get good ideas about it, please! Thanks. |

Curtis, of course your clone influenced me a lot to build my own. When I saw your program, I got so amazed that I decided to start putting my ideas in a program. You helped me a lot. That`s why you are the first name in the Special Thanks list in the Readme file of my clone. ![]() The video you recorded is really very strange. The real time is something around 15.7 seconds. But the timer goes back to 15.0 or sometimes to 14.9 in the end. I am studying it to avoid this problem in the next version. But I have a question: was this file changed? I mean, did you edit the file in order to check if the file is really cheatproof? If not, then it`s a big problem I`ll have to correct... ![]() Finally, about the errors: well, it`s a beta version. I received some bug reports from some people until now, including an "Overflow". I am correcting them as a find them. If you could tell what did you do to make the other errors appear, it would be perfect for me to correct it. Thank you all guys for trying my program out. I`ll keep working on it. ![]() |

Just one question for you both, Curtis & Rodrigo : if you tell that boards are randomly generated, is there a minimal 3BV for your boards ? Because if not, there will be a day someone will have a board in which all mines are on the same side, and he will finish in one sec... |

Rodrigo, I tried out your Minesweeper Clone and I think you did a pretty good job with it. I think my own clone must have been somewhat of an influence to yours, as you included most of the same options in your clone. I was especially impressed with the Minesweeper Video Files - and I will include support for saving videos in a future version of my clone as well. However, they aren't currently fake-proof, and as well the time will sometimes change in the playback. For example, look at this strange video file: http://www.geocities.com/brightprojects/minesweeper/14or15.zip Sometimes it will play as a 14, sometimes as a 15, and sometimes the timer will go to 15 then skip back to 14! By the way - see if you believe the video... Also, the timer itself seems to be a bit glitchy. Once I was just playing normally and suddenly the timer skipped to 86 and just stopped there. Also, there are various glitches like one that allows you to see the mines in legal mode. Finally, I've had the program crash on occasion with error messages like: "Subscript out of range", "Invalid procedure call or argument" and "Overflow". ----- I've released another update on my own clone. The main new features in 0.33 and 0.34 have been highlighted at my website. When some people expressed concern that on slower computers the timer ran slower, I changed my program so it uses your system clock to keep the time. Thus, a second will now always be an exact second. I also added support for "Minesweeper Reader Board Files", so you can now save a finished board directly to a MRB file. You can also load a MRB file to view, and play the board by selecting Restart (or pressing F3). If you are playing the original Minesweeper and come across a board that you want to try again, the easiest way to do this would be to take a screenshot of it, load it into "Minesweeper Reader" and save it as a MRB file, and then finally load it into my program. (And the board can now be saved as a MBF file if you wish.) Somebody asked if my program has board cycling. My program selects a new seed and regenerates a new series of random numbers after each board, so it would take a very long time to find a duplicate board. By the way, high scores are now not recorded if you look at a board's 3BV beforehand. |

Hi everybody again! I released a new version of Minesweeper Clone a few hours ago. I fixes some video bugs that Dennis found and implements two suggestions by Elmar. Now it shows Solved 3BV, 3BV per second and estimated finishing fime. I think this makes the program even more complete. I am really concentrated in the video recording feature. I would like that all of you guys to check this feature out and tell me what you think. Do you think it's nice the way it is now? Do you like the idea of a game that records its own games? The responses I've got until now were very valuable. The address is http://www.geocities.com/minesweeperclone. Go there, please, and help me get even nearer the version of Minesweeper that has been so desired! ![]() Thank you all very much! Rodrigo. |

I have a question instead of a comment. If any of you pros read this please email me with an answer. I considered myself real good at this game since everyone I met didn't know how to play and was stumped when I tried explaining it to them. Until I hit this site that is. But, I play with right clicking the flags on a mine and then double-clicking around it open the board. I've gotten very fast at this but obviously not nearly as fast as all of you. However, I'm not quite sure of your methods of play. I don't understand how you can just left click and everything but the mines and I can't see how it's effective or fast. If one of you can email me with a better understanding of your method of play I would appreciate it, becauase I am stumped. I tried reading the Tips section of the website, but that did nothing but further my complications. Someone please help so I can start fine-tuning my game. Thanx. Peace. justinblair7@hotmail.com |

@Stevan: "claim preservation time" sounds correct to me. What do you mean you can't translate it? From English? That should be the time during which you can lay claim to charges from the insurance company. Concerning the key-generator, you'll just have to try a couple of keys. For me it wasn't until about the 10th key that it worked... ![]() |

How come no one has commented on Rodrigo's Minesweeper clone??? There are a few things that need to be fixed that he is currently working on but help him out guys by trying the game and reporting any bugs to him, so that he can make a really great Minesweeper game! ![]() Gustaf, they're talking about Danish handball right now on Tv4! *LOL* Sweden hasn't played too well this tournament! ![]() I hope Denmark can beat Germany today!!!! Go Denmark!... I bet Stephan, Elmar etc. wouldn't agree with me on that! ![]() |

I agree with Elmar, est times after 34s mean nothing, I've had est times in the low 40s after ~25%, but I know that there was no way it would have been that fast I don't even take any notice of the est times until at least 75%, and then its still far from accurate |

I've got some strange German word for you Germans to translate me, I need it, it's something about insurance(versicherung). Word is "die Anwartschaftserhaltungszeit" Babelfish give me "claim preservation time", but I dont know how to translate it, on google I found only 4 pages with that word...if you know what that means please write it here in English and in German if possible. Thanks in advance ![]() |

Just got an 11 on an intermediate board I had apparently never played before. I'm quite surprised I was able to get that low considering I don't play much int and I was playing a bit slow until that game. I now have two 11 games on boards I had never seen before. Too bad I didn't record the game, cuz I'd like to see how close I was to finishing at 10. |

I'm certainly ready to break into sub70s. I was only a few clicks away from an est. 67. This week I quadrupled the number of sub80s that I had previously. Thanks to Stephan (Betchal) for his instructive comments on my playing style. Happy Sweeping to all. |

@Dennis: AR deadline is 20.00 GMT, so in Denmark, it is 21.00 friday evening (during summer time 22.00 friday evening (if you have that summer time extra hour as well as in Germany))! @David: I know that these lagging background processes are quite normal. But I assume that, say on a 50-seconds game, one shouldn't have a lag that is bigger than 2-3 seconds. I think that Stevan's timer lagged more than those 3 seconds. When I remember correctly, Camtasia video time is showing real time, not caring what the minesweeper clock says. So, on a Camtasia video, one should see how big a game's lag was. And as Elmar mentioned, in XP, the minesweeper clock doesn't lag at all, even with running Winzip or Nero parallely, so while my 55 (on Win9 ![]() |

You guys are sick freaks. I haven't ever dreamed, that a such cool site is made over a primitive game like Minesweeper. Almost a science for itself . But there are very intersting tips and therefore i'm thankful. Just go on like this. As you may see on my records, i'm a beginner, but i'll work myself down, just wait a bit longer Bye Johann ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I just played one of my best expert games ever but f***ed up on the very last click! had finished clearing the whole board but knew that there was a place on the board where there might be a mine so I instantly headed toward that spot and wanted to click what would have been the last square but I somehow misjudged the distance and clicked to the far left on the the square just right of the one I actually wanted to click! I can't believe I was THAT close to getting a 66! ![]() What made this such a great game in my mind were the facts that I only marked 50 mines and that it was a 149 3bv board. I've never marked that few mines before when not playing NF! I've got the video if anyone wants to see it! |
