@Case: AFAIK the double click issue is going to be addressed before the final version is released, so nothing to worry about. I do agree that without it there's not enough feedback from the game ![]() |

No problem Rodrigo. Good job fixing it so fast! Another thing I found: If you make a video while you have the timer set to start at 0, the video will semi-skip the 0.0 -> 1.0 and you will just see all the squares you click during that time appear at once at time 1.0 in the video. It's no big deal, just a minor bug. I also have a feature request. ![]() |

That's true, Case! There was really a bug in the 0.52 beta version! I have already uploaded a new version that corrects this problem, it's the 0.53 beta. I just would like to know your full name and nationality to put in the special thanks list! ![]() But you should have described exactly what you did to produce the bug! ![]() ![]() The way to see the mines' positions was: 1- Call the options menu 2- Change to Cheat Mode 3- Turn "Show mines" on 4- Change to Legal Mode 5- Start a new game or press F2 6- Place a flag and immediatly remove it from a square. If there was a mine on that square, it would be shown. But now it doesn't happen anymore! I have been doing almost daily updates, so it's important that everybody download the latest version. The actual is 0.53 beta. Thanks to everybody for the help! ![]() |

bleh, wish i could edit posts here. Not sure what is causing the -1 mines problem, it says 0 mines left while i'm playing. I did get it to record one of the vids without that problem though. if you watch those videos i bet you can all agree i'm a very very lucky guesser! ![]() |

rodrigo, im making a couple videos right now to post so you can see what i mean. I know that it wont let you record a video right after the options have been changed, but the bug i've found allows you to see mines forever after the mode is set back to normal. I'll post a few vids in a min, it takes a lot of clicking to exploit this bug ![]() |

I just achieved something which none of you have achieved for a long time. I improved my expert time by 50 sec in one game(played for 2 hours)! Assuming I play another 2 games, then I'll have an expert time of 53. So you should better watch your back I am coming and make place in your video section ... ![]() ![]() ![]() once more, think about a forum, it's not difficult to get one but it's more fun posting and discussing |

Some days ago I got my second sub-70 on expert - a 69.97 second game made on a 144 3bv board on Rodrigo's clone. However, as those scores aren't accepted for the AR yet I decided to get something better in MS Minesweeper than the 73 I already had... I started off by getting another 73 on a 153 3bv board... Then a little later I got a nice 70 on a 175 3bv board. QUITE NICE! ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Are you taking any measures against reverse engineering, Rodrigo? Because if not, such a flexible program would not be very hard to manipulate. |

Case, I made the program allow the options to be changed with big flexibility. As you can see, it's possible to change almost all options without having to restart a game. And this includes changing modes between Legal and Cheat. But, if someone starts a new game and changes to cheat mode to see the mines' positions, the recording session is automatically stopped, the cursor changes to "cheat" and high scores will not be set. It doesn't matter what happens next, these things will only be normal again if the player starts a new game with the legal mode turned on! Even if the player returns to legal mode, the program will not record videos, set high scores or get the normal mouse pointer back. Only if a new game is started. Marko suggested that, just for safety, when game modes are changed, the game automatically resets the board. I think this would be recommended only when changing from cheat to legal mode. What do you think? I believe it's really not THAT necessary, but if you guys find that it is good, I will implement. ![]() |

I haven't tried Rodrigo's program, but I don't think Sorin's recorder detects question marks properly. ![]() Currently at 19-57 for the period. 55 is in sight. Stevan, I think, is working on a solver that mimics human mouse movements, which is how his 41 was made. He has some work to do, but I consider it potentially the 'best' method of cheating yet discovered. |

I was playing Rodrigo's clone today and wanted to try out beginner again! I got two 2s and lots of threes, one of which is probably the best beginner game I've ever played. Unfortunately it was a 3.0 and not a 2.9... It was done on a 9 3bv board! NINE!!!!! That would have been an AWSOME 2!!! It's still nice to get a 3.0 on it but it was so close to being 'perfect' or at least as good as it gets! Has anyone ever gotten a 2 on a board with a 3bv higher than 9??? ![]() |

I've been testing Rodrigo's clone, too. I haven't had a chance to download and test his latest version, but as far as gameplay is concerned, I think it's almost ready to be accepted for AR (personal opinion). The last version had some video recording/playing problems with it, so hopefully those have been resolved, and every time you add new features, there are bound to be bugs. I'd say once we are all happy with features and options and such, and the bugs have been worked out of that as best as we can manage, it should be accepted. Maybe between now and then quite a few more people could visit his site and download the beta and test the hell out of it? Look for video errors, stats errors, gameplay problems, ways to cheat, just everything, and email him about it. I think that would get everyone interested in the game, used to the new color schemes (slightly different), would bring out new bugs, and get those fixed quickly. By then, we could probably have a vote regarding whether or not to include those times. I'd say, if errors and bugs are fixed, and people are happy with the gameplay, it should be accepted. Anyway, just thought I'd share my thoughts and opinions. Happy sweeping, all! Lance ![]() |

@Rodrigo: Great idea with the history. Can you add the 3bv/s too. Since it's already part of the stats that shouldn't be a problem, right? What about clicks/s? I personally don't care too much about it, but I think some people do. How about a total of games played. Would be funny to see what percentage you actually finish. ![]() When do we start thinking about accepting the clone for AR and best-ever? ![]() |

Hello again everybody! I released a new version of my clone, the 0.5 beta. It has all the small bugs I found fixed and I included a good feature! The program records the results of each game won and organizes it in a table called "History". I got Stephan Bechtel's site as an inspiration. He organizes all his results, and this could be done automatically. I plan to include even more detailed statistics. If you can check the new version out (http://www.geocities.com/minesweeperclone) and tell me what other statistics should be in that, I would appreciate a lot! ![]() I hope that you like the modification! Thanks! Rodrigo. |

Those on 8x8, but I think it is only for 1second times for 2 or more 9x9 should be accepted. |

@Matt... this 3bv counter/recorder not only tells you the amount of clicks you take, left right and both, but it also records your games in a very simple format, so you don't lose any time (as in camtasia or some other recording program) it is available at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/minesweeper-addicts/files/ Note: you may have to sign up for this group to download the file, but that takes a few seconds (get a yahoo ID) |

I've looked at some of the folks' screenshots of boards and I notice that some have screens that tell them the number of left and right clicks, estimated time of finish, and 3BV. What version of minesweeper is it or is it an added application? Where can I get that hip style of MS? Trying to reach everyone's level |

Today was quite painful. I was 17 clicks away from finishing a 116 3bv board when a guess blew me up. The estimated time was 61.03. Then later, on a 137 3bv board, with only 11 SIMPLE clicks left, I looked at the clock, jerked my hand and hit a square that I knew was a mine. The estimated finishing time was 64.69, though I'm sure it would have been faster than that given the simplicity of the finish. You should have heard the cursing. ![]() I have screenshots. ![]() |

Dion, depending on your version there are two ways. For XP (and I think Win2000) \windows\regedit.exe search for winmine one of the result should be a folder with time1,2,3 and name1,2,3. just edit those. for other versions you can simply edit \windows\winmine.ini ![]() |

59 yesterday! First sub-60 since June 2002. I still have at least a few more seconds in me at the moment. And I can't remember where I posted/emailed someone about this, but I've found that a type of hard-cover book cover thingy works excellently as a mousepad for my optical. So I'm getting fast times at home again. ![]() |

What am I doing wrong? My guess is that quicktime uses it own set of codecs while Media Player uses the codecs that are installed on your system (of which the TSCC is one).

Although I'm not quite an expert (but I'm 55, Senior division?) let me say a couple of things: 1. Computer pseudo-random numbers are generated by performing a fixed algorythm on a starting number called a "seed". The string of "random" numbers is entirely fixed given the seed. Unless the Minesweeper programmers went to an awful lot of trouble, the number of different games is limited by the magnitude of the seed. This is usually 16 bits, allowing 65,535 different games. This would be true independent of beginner, intermediate, or expert. 2. I can't get the game videos to show up in quicktime, although if I download them, I can play them in windows media player. I downloaded the TSCC file, but that changed nothing. What am I doing wrong? |

For the first time in a long time I finished an expert game in 87 seconds and felt really good about it! Not because of a high 3bv as the 3bv of the board was only 149... Nope, the reason why I felt good was because there was an '8' on that board. I've had an '8' two or three times before but it's the first time I get to finish a board with an '8' on it! ![]() ![]() Good luck everyone and happy sweeping! ![]() ...and yes, that was a sad ending on such a nice board... Could have been a sub-60... ![]() |

I made the big jump!!! ![]() It was a very easy 31 3BV board but this time I didn't miss it like I did many times before(thus never making better than 19). I flagged just some mines and didn't realize I had already finshed until I realised that the "Best time" dialog was standing there over the minefield! I'm very happy... ![]() Screenshot: http://xfranky.interfree.it/img/mine_int_15_01.png |

k first of all to whoever the heck JP is i just wanted to congratulate you on your success story. getting a life would probably be quite a good idea. second i just missed a 26 3bv board (a rare one indeed) on intermediate, and it was an estimated 13 seconds. 13. that's an unbelievable time. but no. i had to think that 5=4 and i thought there was another mine. if anyone wants the video i'd be glad to send it (txt file, for recorder). |

i finally played minesweeper seriously for only the second time since june, but by the end of three hours i managed to finish 80% of a 230 board at 4.01 clicks/s, and I finished three boards (over 180 3bv) at 3.30 or higher. that's the only good news as the rest was considerably worse than that. a month ago i tried playing a bit and was unable to get below 60 over several days and was beginning to think like marc. btw, hope you keep hanging around marc. |

I just bought a new mouse, and look at the results! I was using this HUGE mammoth Logitech mouse that's ergonomically designed to fit your hand, with the double-click button on the side and everything. I just bought a much smaller Microsoft optical mouse with the scroll wheel (someone here said it was a good one). I can just see that expert going sub 100 sometime this week. I've been getting a lot of estimated sub 100s after most of the board has been cleared. Oh yeah! By the way, those records have not been broken since October, until now, so I actually feel like playing again. I haven't had this feeling in a long time! |

Stevan: I really have no desire to keep playing. As I said: enough is enough. If I start playing for half an hour a week, I just know that I'll start playing more and more again and that's something I really want to avoid. I've had a lot of fun playing this game and it's nice to be able to say I was among the best of the world, but that's all. |
