@ Rodrigo : I really like the new way to install the clone.
I tried it yesterday, downloading it thx to Grégoire who hosted it as your site was down.
Several times I got the error "division by zero", as I was starting a game. And another one "indice en dehors de la plage de données" (sorry I don't see how to translate it in French) as I was trying to see my graphs for the evolution in the history.
As you asked it, I uninstalled then downloaded it from your site to reinstall it. Since then I had no "division by zero" anymore, but the other bug still occur when I want to see my evolution. Maybe that's because I have a BIG history file (478 Ko).
OK that'll be all for the bug report.

This new version is awesome, full of interesting things, new modes, etc...
I'll play with it again and again I think.

@Rodrigo: I still get the 'video file corrupt' message when I try to play the videos recorded on the new clone. Do you want some of these supposedly corrupted files? I think the game I had yesterday where it just closed down on the last click was saved nevertheless. It appears to have been an 18 on a 34 3bv board... Whoops, I don't recall the last time I've had below 2 3bv/s on int! That's so bad! Maybe the clone doesn't accept such bad 3bv/s values! :-P

After more than a year without any improvment I get an awsome board and nail it. Knocking 11 seconds off my best time!!! I have the screenshot if anyone is interested. This now makes my sum 72. Taking me quite a few places up the ranking.

On another note, I even doubt that it makes much sense to look for a single value representing a player's speed. A players relative performance may vary depending on the 3bv. For example player can be good on high 3bv boards and relatively bad on low 3bv boards while another player is relatively better on low 3bv boarsd.
That's why I came up with that idea of a perfrormance map where you plot the average time for a fixed 3bv vs 3bv. By comparing those maps of different players it would be possible to see where a player has relative strenghts.

About IOS:
I tried to explain my concerns about IOS some time ago. I had the feeling that the good fit of the IOS was due to the fact that a great number of games are played in the range between 140 and 160 3bv. But this great number of games in a small range is a problem when we try to predict the possible times for low or high 3bvs. Now thanks to Rod's Clone0.97 we have a handy tool to do some analysis.
Rogen proposed the relation of
(time-1)^IOS=3bv <=> 3bv^(1/ios)+1=time.
The new graphics give us a way to check this relation.
Go to Cloud and mark
level=Expert;Xaxi=3bv;Yaxis=time;Iso lines show
and now check out the fits of the different Iso-lines: 3bv/s, RQP and IOS.
I must say that at least for my history the RQP seems to give a bettter fit.

The general problem of 3bv/s is that it depends on the 3bv. The new index should be independent of the 3bv. To check how well each index satisfies this objective mark.
Cloud: level=expert, Xaxis=3bv; Yaxis=3BV/s /RQP /IOS
The scales are different but what matters is if there is a slope or not. For my history there definitely is a positive relation between 3bv and IOS.
Food for thought.

@Rodrigo: I'm loving the new clone, but you forgot to implement on thing I had proposed, the average time. For the stuff I talked about above it would be nice if we were able to plot the average time for all boards played on a certain 3bv vs 3bv. But besides this great job!

@Roman: I love it that you worked out that idea of the IOS-variable I had a while ago. I must admit, I would never have found the solution of it, very nice work.
Rodrigo, I haven't tested your clone yet but reading all the reactions shows me that you've done a nice job again. Thanks for that
Happy sweeping all

Comments:  

Hello again!

@Dennis, Arjádre, All: I'm sorry for this small trouble in the new version... I have just uploaded a fixed 0.97 beta version. Sorry for asking you guys to uninstall it and download again. But I hope it is fixed. In any case, just drop me an e-mail with possible bug reports, ok?

@Rasmus: yes, this is intentional. The high scores can be changed freely.

@Detrusor: I know that sometimes Geocities blocks the downloads if there are too much of them. If you could help me by updating the file that you have on your site, it would be nice!

I really still didn't finish a decent help file for this version. But I decided to release it without the help because I didn't want to delay it more. I'll tell when I include this help file or a readme file. Moreover, the explanation that Detrusor gave to RQP, IOE and IOS are absolutely correct!

Happy sweeping all!

The link should work now...
@Daniel: no...my old history was too precious to lose ...so I saved Minesweeper clone into a separate folder. Its filepath (so you can try the same) is C:\Documents and Settings\Arjadre\Desktop\Downloaded Programs\minesweeperclone97, while the filepath for the folder containing the original clone... including old videos and the history file... is C:\Documents and Settings\Arjadre\Desktop\Downloaded Programs\\minesweeperclone . See the difference? So much has changed with this new version that it doesn't make sense to try to merge anything... I certainly won't want old, slow games from June polluting my averages, either...
@Lance: I agree... In the new version, it's as if the player is searching for mines underwater! They had better not complicate the game by moving beyond pure logic (by adding oxygen tanks, etc). I'll be curious to see whether it's still possible to get the dreamboard on this version... It would be nice if Microsoft simply used Rodrigo's clone, instead... the new features rock!

For the new version on Windows Vista: not sure i like the shading - bright blue in upper left corner and dark blue in lower right corner. too much for the eye to focus on - makes the game too "pretty" and distracts from the purpose of the game.

@Rodrigo: I love the history thing but I've had the 'division by zero'-problem as well, where the program shuts down. I think it might happen if you hit a mine without solving any 3bv but I'm not sure. I happened at the start of a game at least. I also finished a game and it told me the game already existed or something like that... Don't know what the exact words were but it closed down there as well. The final problem was that I was unable to play any of the videos from the new clone on the new clone (or old one for that sake, I think) - "Video file corrupt"...

Otherwise... love it!

Sorry that's not true. It does log new games. My main concern is if you can re-establish my old hi-scores. Kinda takes the fun out of it when you get a new hi-score every five seconds...

Three things Rodrigo...

I seem to have overwritten my old minesweeperclone.inf with the new one - without making a backup. Is there a possibility you can get my old hi-scores into the new minesweeperclone.inf with only my videos of the games to work from?

I replaced the new history.inf with the old and all my times from 0.96 are shown but it doesn't log any new times. Any solution?

Finally there is a delay of about one second or so from you place your last click until the game is actually finished... If you hit a mine the game ends instantly. Maybe it's just my computer?

- RQP is a value (the less = the best) calculated as: time / 3bv/s (it's a french abbreviation, for Rapport Qualité / Prix :D)
so the best RQP is for a high speed game but also short one

- IOE is Index of Efficiency, calculated as: 3BV / total clicks, in percentage. So the most efficient player can have >100%, if he does less clicks than the 3bv

- IOS = index of speed, a value that Roman brought, calculated as log(3BV) / log(time-1), which shows your general speed whatever the 3bv is

Hi everyone!

It's been a long long time since the release of the last version of the Clone, but now I am here to annouce that I am releasing today the newest version, the 0.97 beta.

The number of new features in it is enormous. You'll see. Unfortunately I am in a hurry here, and I won't have enough time to write all of them or to make better updates of the site. I'm sure everyone will like them.

I particularly think you'll all like the new history window. Just check it out!

I hope you all enjoy it! Feel free to tell me what you think of it!

A TOTAL SURPRISE!!!
I was playing very slow, at least it felt like I was, and I was playing mostly NF, which is unusual for me. Adding that it was very late (it's 1 in the morning where I am), I was shocked when the record window popped up!
@Dmitriy: I'm sorry to beat your score so soon... It seems that with this game, I beat your the amount of flags used and the 3BV...
I also got my first 24(,62) today, 3 minutes after my 12th 25! I also missed an 80,9x on the last click (50-50)
This brings my total to 102, and my AR total this period to 100! A 76 on expert will qualify me for bestever!
Of course, right now, it feels like I must be dreaming, and when I wake up in the morning, nothing will have happened...

I will upload the video shortly.

@ Gero : are you happy now? lol :p

@ Dennis :
Guile is French, so I'm not sure you'll see him posting here.
Indeed he did that 5,56 playin NF, I myself can't believe it, but he unfortunately didn't record it, he only took screenshots, click on the link below to see them.
NB : He doesn't use Elmar's technique... simply crazy...

@Guile or anyone who knows: Was that 5.56 on int done NF??? If you really managed to get such an awesome time NF then you are truly an amazing NF'er and I'd very much like to see a video of that game if possible!

The UPK_4 Rankings are:

1. Elmar 6,12/15,79/21,91
2. Dennis 5,94/16,97/22,91
3. Ace 6,44/19,23/25,67
4. Gero 6,73/19,84/26,57
5. Arjádre 8,59/35,83/44,42
6. Dmitriy 7,52/53,79/61,31

Notable int times posted on Detrusor's forum:

1. Guile 5,56
2. Detrusor 6,32
3. Iguana 6,99

Congratulations to all participants. The deadlines will now correspond to the AR deadlines, so the next one will be Friday at 4:00PM EDT/20:00 GMT.

As Dmitriy noted, the next period is only 5 days long. For this reason, the UPK_5 contest will consist solely of an intermediate board, which is linked below. The board is every bit as corny as the UPK_4 boards (a giant mine made up of mines), and normal boards will reappear next period.

TO REPEAT, THE UPK_5 BOARD IS LINKED BELOW...

Happy Sweeping!

then, the 20th UPK period will last for 5 days (till 7.10.2005) whish is pretty weird , don't you think? so, it would be much better to make this UPK deadline on 7.10.2005 (and i will have some time to make good times)

btw, my last game is 23,34sec 3BV=49 3BV/s=2,19 mode=int "flagging" rank: 2nd time!, 237th 3bv/s which is my 4th sub24

@Dmitriy: "The deadline will be Sunday 2.10.05 at 4:00PM EDT/20:00 GMT after this, the contest, as Christoph, will be biweekly and correspond to the AR periods." Read this over more carefully... It was posted here on 25.09.05... The contest will correspond with the AR starting NEXT WEEK...

@Ace: My best 3BV/s for Exp is 2,45. It was a 3BV of 193 in 79,67. My 2nd best is 2,30. So I should sub-60 soon on Exp, shouldn't I?
**** if I look at my Exp high score I get really angry. I want your scores for NF, too!!!

Both new NF records on the same board (141 3BV)!
3 days after my 61, I improve exactly by 1s, and I still can't believe I can be that good playing NF...

Btw, congrats to all other records breakers.

Hello,
this site is the best minesweepersite I have ever seen, but I have only a question:
Today I made the beginner-level in one second (I made a video). To where I must send this, that I can go on the record-list?
Thanks for answers,
Anton

i just set my intermediate hi-score of 21,99 seconds :) omg, i love that it was .99 It was a 35 bv board, which i sweeped with poor 1,66 bv/s but i do not complain! and only 18 flags used

some additional info: it is my 2794th logged int game, and the bv/s rank for it is 1862nd game

the next amazing thing is that it was done with my new Logitech MX510 mouse, which i bought 2 days ago. all i may tell, it is perfect. it is extremely handy and precise, but it needs some time to fit to it.

lol, Arjadre, i am in front of you on the intermediate

Another milestone passed... on a 137 board, bringing my total to 103(103,81) and my total time (score-1) to 100,81! It looks as though I will have two straight AR periods of high scores!

This game was my 101st exp game won on the clone, and brought my average (since June) of clone games to 99,96! I also got an 84 earlier today. My 79 was my 15th sub-90 and my (about) 53rd sub-100...

A 75 on expert will qualify me for bestever...

i have opened the easiest IRC Client to get our #minesweeper chat channel

this would be a great help for all the sweepers to get here, because it is needed to check out for a shtload of google search results for "IRC CGI Client"..

finally, this problem solved, just type in in your browser this simple line:

http://minesweeper-community.com/irc

and edit your name (if you wish)
