I have 2 ideas of great rules for minesweeper rankings: 1. only sub40 3bv boards for int and sub150 for exp. It wont make minesweeper unfair (because better play always will solve the board faster), just people will waste less time to play stupid high 3bv boards. Im sure, that this way more people will start playing MS ![]() 2. Records blasted on the last click accepted for rankings: somebody told that MS is a sport - we can't call it a sport until it start be fair. Lasse Nyholm solved exp board in 39, but blasted it on a guess - so why in ranking his record is 41? ![]() OR: only non-guessing boards (like on minesweeperlive.com) Of course some people will say that it won't be original minesweeper - but everybody has to agree, that worse thing should be improved to better thing ![]() |

@Damien: I think, tournaments are not necessary to be organised by the community, maybe a single person who has several connections can be enough. Of course if this competition needs supporters, than IMC can help. World ranking is very important, but might be expanded to 3BV/s ranking as well... The development of the perfect clone is not the task of the community, this can be a private action, where players help with their suggestions for improvement. Maybe, connections for getting financial supports for competitions can be a task in which the IMC itself can help (but personal connections are unaviodable, of course). The most important is as I see, the official WR. Problems. It can be that it's only due to my personal failure or lazyness, but I hardly get any information about the IMC's work. If this works, players can give arguments to improve its effetiveness. |

I agree with all the about IMC, but I think u should make 1 more thing: make minesweeper more famous game, for example more local tournaments. Btw if we talk about finding cheaters, I think u should make sure about Stevan Gvozdenovic's 41, it looks too obviously for me ![]() |

As I have only few minutes, the IMC part will be discussed later. Until then an important date was yesterdy for me. I made my third exp sub 80, second NF (with that 67), a 78,246 on a 130 board after several blasted est sub 80s and sup 2s... Video in my folder together with my yesterday's IOS rec NF exp 87,508 on a 179 board. |

Hi there...I haven't posted in a long time. Haven't played in nearly 8 weeks, to give my wrist a rest. It's funny, after a couple of weeks you don't miss it at all. To answer damien's question, I would say that I think almost everything listed is part of the IMC's role. It's never really had a definitive brief, as far as I know, so its role was always going to be vague and uncertain. Perhaps that's a good thing. I've always thought that the IMC is there to provide answers to the sweeping community's questions. Whether a certain method is allowable, whether a clone is an accurate representation of the original, etc. Joni mentioned his idea of the IMC's purpose of bringing people together. I think I agree, but it's hard to put that into a succinct mission statement. What I would say is that I think the IMC should be 'of the people'. I don't think we should treat it like an outside governing body that is there solely to lay down laws and decisions. It's something that should be interacted with by every part of the community. So I suppose my idea of what the IMC should do is to allow us to have the best community possible - by preventing cheating, giving us a ranking, overseeing meet-ups, etc. |

In my opinion the IMC has tried to take upon it way too much responsibility... and has kept collapsing under that load year in and year out. Furthermore, I've never liked this "policeman" role which they have put always in first place... What I think is that the IMC should be about: bringing people together ![]() There's been a very nice trend of communities trying to get together during these years. The players at metanoodle merged with the French and then the Russians and now the Chinese (even though the last only in the rankings level as yet). Now we discovered this Japanese community (or more correctly they discovered us)... and I think it's great. So that's what I think the IMC should do, try to get people closer... ![]() |

@damien: 1) a. to run world championship (to make a guideline on how minesweeper tournaments should be organized in general) b. to run !! a !! world ranking (not the only wr) based on verified scores and on equal minesweeper rules. c. absolutely not !! - it's important to have a diversity of rankings. d. this is in my opinion the aspect that should be worked on the most. i think there need to be clear rules on the acceptance of highscores, cheat detection, why and which versions are accepted for highscores and of courese how the imc itself is organized (e.g. how decisions are made or the outcome of imc meetings). e. would it be a solution to update the wikipedia article? f. i think there can#t be a perfect clone. since not all clones run on all computers every sweeper has his/her favourite clone. as long as none of the clones provides an unfair advantage there could be 10 or even more accepted clones. but it would make it very easy if there was a programm that could play all minesweeper videos (like clone can replay both clone and arbiter videos). g. to me this is the most difficult point. i'd say: only to a certain point and only in certain cases. aspects like this should be discussed by the whole sweeping community. h. imc-members are(shold be) the representatives of the minesweeper communuty, so definetely yes. i. not everything but sometimes i miss a little bit of the imc's presence. j. later, within the next post. 2. rules, score acceptance and decisions. well that's not only 1 thing but the least i think the imc should do. 3. few activity on minesweeper.cc exept for ar and score validation, though there could be even more there too. |

The IMC is having problems (Two members want to quit, and two more are fighting about why we exist). Can you please help by answering these questions? Thankyou! 1) Why does IMC exist: a) To run tournaments b) To run the world ranking only c) To run all rankings d) To make rules e) To write a history of the game f) To make a perfect clone g) To investigate people we think are cheating h) To talk to Microsoft i) To be in charge about everything minesweeper j) Other reasons ? 2) If the IMC only does one thing, what should it be? 3) What makes you the most angry about the IMC?

there certainly are a couple of bugs in that code... which might be related or not. They are not easy to reproduce though (occur once in one or two weeks, while the video page has ~700 hits per day) and my schedule over the coming month is insanely cluttered... so it might take several months till they are fixed ![]() You can help though, by providing some information when these bugs happen, like: * was there an error message? (if yes please take note, if not please describe the malfunction) * what were you doing when it happened? (did you just join the video page... or where you browsing/uploading/downloading anything) * please take note of the time when this happened, (like when you first notice the download counters resetting to 0) * anything else you might think it'd be helpful to isolate the bug your help is very much appreciated ![]() |

NF 1,841 -> 2,021 3BVs (3BV=219) |
Comments: |
Finally Sup2!!! I'd solved 218/219 and was certain I had blasted my NF 3BVs record again when I couldn't find the last square. I could hardly believe it that it was still my first sup2 after I found it after 7 very very long seconds. Hadn't I forgotten the square it would have been 2,143 3BV/s being 0,3 faster than my old record. That really would have been demotivating, lol. Since I figured out on March 16 that my mouse path was very inefficient...all my NF records have been improved big time. (See attached link) |

Only Int/Expert NF record that I hadn't improved yet in March. (Also NF IOS 1.31452 -> 1.32724 that board) Now it's time to beat that NF 1,841 on expert because I blasted a 1,9xx 193/195 again tonight, by hitting the mine between the last 2 squares because of nerves.

I just uploaded a new release. The bug was way more nasty than I expected - the simple solution was to use less windows messages ![]() However - the videos are now only written to the archive when you switch archives or close MBH. And there's a new button to extract videos from the archive to a folder vids\extract\. I hope you'll enjoy. thx Christoph |

@Fritz: That's exactly the bug I mentioned below which is caused by windows messages overtaking each other. I'm currently programming around it (I intended to do that yesterday but... well there's not always time for everything). How to fix it: 1. Extract all the videos from \vids\archive\archive.zip to \vids\ 2. Delete all the files in \vids\archive\ 3. Delete \vids\.csv 4. Start mbh and vsweep and finish one game - The history will then be reconstructed from the files in \vids\ (actually: if you played any games without mbh running or perhaps on a different computer i.e. at a tournament, you can place this videos in \vids\ and add them to your history in this way.) The problem is, that the operating system delivers windows messages in wrong order and timenear to mbh. That results in mbh running a zip before the last zip finished (for the same files) - that demages the archive and no more files are added to it. So they stay in \vids\ and everytime you finish a game mbh reconstructs te history from the files in \vids\. Thatwhy the games are in the history again and again. |

@christoph: the clicks/second counters still stay at 0.00 while replaying a video and the mbh copies the info of all previously finished boards after i finished a new board (like 1; 121; 121321; 1213214321; 121321432154321 and so on). it doesn#t really bother the gameplay itself but it makes the history feature almost unusuable. |

Don't worry, Kat, if you beat Arj's 3bv/s you beat mine as well, and unlike him, I'm not going to try taking any revenge! (I don't even know how much time I'd need to do that :P) And congrats, by the way! ;) Sorry about not dropping by as often as I used to...I'm not playing as often either! Hopefully I'll be able to stay in the AR this time, though...or else I'll be in really bad shape for Vienna! |

Back. Still didn't stop. I just got a popup of the highscores. I'm guessing it's a coincidence, a 3bv/s record on int or something (yes yes, I couldn't help playing the last 300 seconds...). But the main issue remains: the timer keeps going. or starts from 0, depends on the perspective. ![]() |

@Traian: thx! The vids are stored in the vids folder anyway, the MBH moves them from there into the archive. There seems a litte problem with that when some windowsmessages overtake each other and are delivered to MBH timenear - I'll programm around that tomorrow. What concerns me more is that the timer didn't stop at the end of the TT - I just tried it and couldn't reproduce this bug. |

Correction: it does record your games. The MBH seems just to read a certain archive the main application creates and updates. The results were just not shown until both applications are opened. |

@Christoph: I downloaded and played a time trial on vsweeper. One piece of advice for everyone that tests this version: do not close the MBH (history app), your scores will not be recorded. Anyway, it moves smoothly, but I knew this since our little tournament. Oh, at the end of TT, the timer goes on. I think it would be nice in the future to stop everything and display scores (if this is done by MBH, sorry, I closed it during the trial, because it bugged me ![]() I will keep posting new discoveries/bugs. Now I need to rest, my hand hurts. Eh, at least i got through to the expert part in under 700 seconds. But now I will never know my beg/int scores. I feel like I did a 2 and some 3s on beg. ![]() Well, I hope I will get good scores and consistency when the version will be accepted for records. Keep it up, you've done nice work so far. ![]() |

there's nothing to understand Kamil ... it's a beta version of a minesweeper program (a "skeleton" if you want). No-one forces you to use it. If you decide to try it out and find any problems you are kindly asked to inform the writer of the program (Christoph) so that it can be improved. As simple as that... If you haven't gotten any 11s on it yet, it might be a sign that the board generation of the ViennaSweeper differs from the Clone's in some way... or it might mean nothing at all...
