NP Damien, I'll just temporarily turn you into an US-American next time I have the opportunity ;-) :D
(Only joking )
First of all, grats @ everyone! I'm watching my back Ian
I should get back to playing, retired players are catching up with me, that simply can't be a good sign


But I guess I should tell you a little more about my new recs, especially the 47.
The 47 was an extremely weird game. I was actually playing for efficiency (I even had my history log switched off ), so I was going at barely above 4 cls/s, I think I flagged like 35 mines or so. The 3bv of the board was extremely low, 107 or 117, and to top it, it was played right in the middle of an english lesson, with my teacher sitting a couple of seats away.
That game is my secon sub50, and I blasted a 47 est 49 during the same lesson, so I guess I might be on the verge of another improvement. Maybe my dream of a sub50 at the tournament is going to become reality
I guess the vid will be self-explaining once I upload it though, I will once I get round to putting it on my ubuntu/windows share partition, with which I am having a couple o probs atm.
Also, I am extremely happy about the 3bvs/s rec for the reason that I didn't have the vid of the old one, my school RAID server didn't let me save it as my quota was full.

Oh yeah, and both games were played on arbiter .46

Hi chaps and chapesses

Just needed to come on here and vent my frustration - in a moment of madness and lack of concentration I just f***ed up a 63sec exp game on the last click..... ARRRRRRGH!!!

Hey everybody!

Long time since my last post... But now I have good news: there is a new version of the Clone available for download, it's Minesweeper Clone 2007.

It has few new features, but all are good ones, for example:

- If you let the mouse over almost everything on the game during a second or so, a small yellow window will appear explaining what it is.

- Also, pressing F2 on UPK mode will take the game back to Classic mode. So now it is possible to play regularly on Classic mode, find an interesting board, press F3, try it again on UPK, press F2, and continue on Classic. Very handy.

- There is an option "display openings" on the Video Control Window, to draw lines on the borders of openings during videos. Lines similar to those we draw on Paint when manually counting the 3BV of a board.

- And the nice one: the "Events" feature. Every time a video is loaded or previewed, it is first analysed, and a list of important events of the game is shown (like guessed/wasted clicks, guessed/wasted flags, hesitation, etc). Then you can enable highlighting each event during the video playback. A really cool one.

And finally, the initial blue window is not showing anymore. By the way, if you are a .NET software developer, just visit www.eziriz.com . You'll need it. <== A small, but deserved advertisement.

You can download it by clicking the link below or in the option "check for updates" of the help menu, directly on the Clone. Well, I really hope you enjoy the new stuff. Just tell me your opinions, guys. There's more to develop on these new features, and getting your ideas will be great.

Happy sweeping!
Rodrigo.

Comments:  

Felt like playing some winmine and got an easy 134 3BV (hand-counted) board with 7 openings, got a 61 because my resolution was set at 768x1024 rather than my usual sweeping 480x600 resolution, so the board was smaller than normal and I couldn't really see it without straining my eyes a bit. It's just as well since sub60 winmine isn't accepted anyway.

About rooms in Budapest. I have found cheap flights from Brussels to Budapest for the days 11th-16th April. The plane does not arrive in Budapest until 11:30pm. The only problem is that I am not sure where in the world I will be at this time. I am in Australia at the moment and I am guessing that I will be in Lille around the times of the tournament. This is why I chose to fly from Brussels. So the whole thing is unsure at the moment. But I will let you know for sure as soon as I know for sure.

@zhang: you need to book your own room (for your visa)...i will help other people find rooms.

@alexander: i am also staying 11-16 april. I can book a room for you starting then, but I will nhot arrive at the hotel until 10pm on the 11th.

@about rooms:

Roman (1), Zhang (1), Jan & Robert (1), Joni (1) and Damien (2) are booking rooms (6 total). There is space for 15 more people. I am assuming that people will book these rooms for at least the 13&14 (night before contest, night after contest).

Joni will stay longer (I do not know how many days), I will stay longer and arrive earlier, and maybe some of the others will stay longer. You can email me or post in the guestbook what days you want to stay, and then we can work out (hopefully before April) whose room you will stay in.

@Matt: There are 3 common ways to record video...the Recorder (in the downloads section, records Winmine games) and two cloned versions (Clone, Arbiter).

Comments:  

All done with a touchpad on vista at a department store. I found it quite fun, but I wish I'd had my mouse and they'd let me play using that so I could see whether it was harder like people seem to think.

One thing I noticed is that a genuine double-click actually does chord - I only noticed this because on a wrong chord, a little x on the number you tried to chord on shows up and seems to disable further action for a sec or two, and this happened on a double-left-click.

I can't remember having to guess - and I'm sure I didn't in the expert game (I only played one of each), so someone that has vista and can solve pretty well should check it out.

I'm interested to know peoples styles on touchpads - those that play with them occasionally anyway. I NFed most of the expert, but started chording at the end. NFing is certainly simpler, considering that I use my left hand to click and right to navigate so I'm often afraid of mixing the buttons up, but after I get used to that it isn't too bad.

Alexander: Nice I live in Adelaide. You don't have to visit it's pretty boring!

The last possible date to sign up is 21st of February!!!! Hurry up!!! Oh no, it was yesterday ... Sorry we cannot accept you

Actually we are not that strict. I think, what Gergely is saying is that it would be nice to know if you are seriously thinking of coming. It has happened that people have miss planes or have not been able to come for other reasons... From the last Vienna tournament experience, several players that had said they would come didn't make it, while on the other hand, Andreas Fuchs from Switzerland, showed up on the tournament day though no-one had heard anything of him before

Btw Damien, what you mentioned there looks like a mix of the Vienna and Budapest tournament rules of last year. I thought I had read last years Budapest had two mixed sessions of 1h and 2.5h ... but I wasn't there so...
It would be nice to know this years format soon though.

(It's like running mini-hotels!)

At the moment people coming are listed at www.minesweeper.info/MicrosoftAgrees.php ... I will change this page this weekend.

@alexander: the exact format this year is not known yet. last year it was (if i remember correctly) 1.5h int, 1.5h exp, 1h either. Best 1 int and 1 exp from the 'either' and the best 5 int and best 5 exp from the int & exp section = best 6+6 total. Microsoft will give prizes to the top 6 players.

I will arrive in Budapest 11 April.

Cheapest airlines are Easyjet, Wizzair, Ryanair, Flyglobespan, Skyeurope. If you are travelling from Canada (!) use Zoom airlines to fly to London, then Easyjet to Budapest.

20-66 Vista
Maybe one of the most tiring skings i've seen , but it might be that it's because it's just the beginning...
One question, will the ViennaSweeper that will be used at the tournament have the "resizable window" option? like Vista has (by what I hear) It's maybe the only positive thing they have done in my opinion, and if we have to stick to Vista skin at the tournament, it might be a little less bad if we at least have that. I have no idea if that is a programming mess or an easy thing to do though, just curious.

Zhang, I want to remind you that MinesweeperX displays realtime times (counter starts from 0). then it rounds them up at the end of the game. But if you want to compare your decimal times with clone times you had to add 1 full second.

Btw, count me in for the tournament, and I think i will book one of those rooms damien, so you can decrease your count by one

Zhang, I would suggest you to concentrate all your mental energies in improving your English for the next couple of months ;). If you do that i think we would get along just fine in Budapest.

@Damien: I was thinking of getting there earlier too. Like in Vienna last year, my main reason for coming is tourism rather than the competition itself . And meeting you guys of course .

As far as I'm concerned Gergely couldn't have chosen a better week for hosting it . I haven't decided the date yet, I was thinking 11th or 12th, but it would mostly depend on any low cost flights i would be able to find... (and my budget )

Anyone else that plans to come earlier? Like the Farniks for example? I really hope, that because of some strange coincidence, you not have many things to do that week Nikolaj ... Btw the video of the new best Czech looks really wierd... or is his hand really shaking that crazily? If it is I am really impressed how he can achieve those times

In my analysis of where you click first, there seems to be one more class of square. The row and column next to the edge seems to present different situations than do other middle squares. Has anyone else noticed this difference?

@Zhang: Book a room for you.

It is a good idea to arrive Friday 13th because the competition usually starts in the morning the next day. The Microsoft competition is 14th, and Nonsweeper is 15th. I hope many of you stay.

I will arrive a few days early and I am willing to book 4-6 rooms (each room fits 4 people) for the 13th and 14th (maybe 15th too).

As long as a room is booked for one person, the other three people do not need to tell the hotel owner until they arrive. If Zhang books a room, Roman books a room, I book 3 rooms, we will have enough for 20 people.

To plan, I need to know if you are coming. Please email or post in the Guestbook what days you want to stay.

Tournament info is linked below.

It's so great to see you smash that 60, and it's such a nice game to watch I knew it would not take you much longer.

Congratulations Joni! It's funny you should metnion being an inspiration, because you were something of the sort for me when I first stumbled upon this community. It was nice to get tips from someone whose scores weren't 1-12-45 or anyting like that
Glad you finally broke that barrier, and hopefully now you can really go low without all that pressure!

Joni, I knew you would break through that minute barrier sooner or later. I'm glad you broke it, because you really deserve it for your persistency. When I had broken the minute barrier, I became the first person from my country to do so and I had aspired to become an inspiration as well, so I'm glad that you feel that way about your times. And I'm sure people will look up to yours times, you are in the top100 after all!

@Ian: Grats once again, you're breaking records fast! Aim for the 50 barrier, you're completely capable of passing it :D

@Thomas: Good to see that you have your priorities in order, I had the same problems academically for a while and all it takes is a couple of breaks from the hectic minesweeping world to focus a bit. Still though, I look forward to seeing more records, and especially racing in ranks

@All others: Lots of luck at the tournament, I will wait here at home anticipating the results!

“Last week i finally got my swedish permit renewal [...]”

“finally”? :P Sounds familiar... I just got my french permit today (and a temporary one at that), and I’m leaving the country tomorrow!
