Hi guys, there probably will not be an update this week. After installing AVG, I immediately got multiple virus infections, task manager is disabled, removing/installing programs does not work, the CPU runs at 100% and system restore no longer works. I will shop for a new computer this weekend, and try to find a copy of Access (it costs £520, can't afford that - does anyone own a disk?). After getting a new comp, if I can't continue using Access, perhaps it is time to finally get the rankings purely online. I was hoping to avoid going Vista, let you guys know what happens. (Btw, the data is safe, I back it up every few weeks and the computer drive should still be accessible). |

Gergö ... the answer is simple... a fellow sweeper apparently from Seattle tried to download your beginner game, and managed to click on it 100 times in 3 minutes (probably his browser went mad or something) no bugs on the video script this time at least =). the counter is incremented when the download is started (i.e. when the link is clicked upon) It would be way too complicated and a waste of resources to actually keep track of the download till it finishes and then increment the counter. Hope that helps to calm your soul ![]() |

@Ronny your account is activated and I disabled admin activation, I don't know why I switched that on in the first place, probably from paranoia when I set up the forum and didn't want anyone to be able to register and post _yet_. But now everyone can activate his account himself, so no problems registering. |

I found that my beg nf 3,46 has totally 106 downloads. I can hardly imagine that so many people would like to enjoy my last October's record (I have at least six 2 seconds already). What's more, it is in my NF folder, and in my records folder, as well, and in the 'records' folder it has only 3 downloads (this would be the acceptable number...). Do you know the reason of this phenomenon? |

@Ronny, I think thats a shame, I would have loved to have you in the discussion. I'll reply in the forum - for the exact reason I think that having a forum is important: Nobody will find what we write now later (unless he really wants to find it or accidentally stumbles over it), but if we want to see the whole discussion in, say, three years, we will need the information concentrated somewhere, it would be lost here. |

@tk: I've read some of the issues on the forum. The most important issue I feel is the ranking. I don't see the point in starting a complete new ranking. Most people on the old lists worked hard for their records and still deserve their name on the official IMC list. (I would love to see my records still on the list in 10 years time as well, even if my proof will be lost in time). Sure not all records on Damiens ranking can be verified any more, but removing hundreds of valid records to remove a couple of cheats sounds stupid (honor the legits, ignore the cheats). I rather see myself being #600 of the world, knowing it might be #550 without cheats, then being #200 of the world knowing that there are over 400 players that beat my score as well, but aren't listed due to rule changes. My opinion: the more old names listed the merrier and only apply the new strict rules to all new world ranked scores.. BTW, sorry for being to lazy and register at the forum ![]() |

Hey everyone, I know I've posted this before, but the IMC has a new forum - located at imc.martinpre.net / linked below - and we are trying to write statutes that define how the IMC works, and how our work is documented so that we don't have a debate like the one between christoph and damien (it wouldn't have been possible if there would have been a clearly documented decision with proper definitions regarding a certain topic, no matter who was right). So, we are trying to write down how we are going to do things - but in order to do that, we need to know WHAT we are going to try to do. And deciding that is in the hands of the community. A couple of people have posted, but there are also many people that posted sth on the GB once and have not posted in the forum yet. I this is supposed to go in the right direction, we need your input. I saw great ideas out there, and I would really appreciate also having them in the forum. |

@Ronny: Big grats ![]() ![]() @all: I returned. I fulfilled the concert, and became a fellow of a Hhungarian metal webzine. This weekend was the first period to play since a month, and two great games were born. I made a 20 on int NF (11. time), and a fantastic expert game. I made a 74,712 on a 171 board! It was an IOS record, second time, and very first 3BV/s, a 2,320! My previous 3BV/s record was 2,121... Disregarding that 67, I have 2+16+74=92. |

Really frustrating day. - est 53, blasted at 100/108 with timer at 49 - est 51, blasted at 100/133 on a forced guess - est 52, blasted at 92/133 (I think) Should've finished the first one at least, all the squares were in one corner. I did get my first 59 though, also my first sub-60 since my two month break. @Rodrigo - if you're making a new version of the clone, is there any way you could get the squares to open up as quickly as they do on viennasweeper? I love the interface of your clone, all the menus and options are brilliant, but the speed difference is really noticable on my computer, and I seem to play better with the quicker one. |

Ever had the feeling that you've just hit the jackpot and seconds later found out you didn't win anything at all? I just did! ![]() An hour ago I was playing some NF expert to try to break my long waited time record so I can finally retire from minesweeper happily. After a while I got a nice board and without losing concentration or my nerves I managed to clear all squares very quickly............when pressing the last square I knew it had to be faster than my 79 record. So I pressed it, the pop-up showed, I looked at the timer: 75 seconds!!!! I was sure I hadn't flagged and it couldn't be my flag (74s) record, so I was about to jump out of my chair and had already raised my arms, when I looked at the index window to be sure: 5 FLAGS....WTF I'd flagged? WHEN!?! .........confused and disappointed about not getting my NF time record and not being able to retire, I comforted myself knowing I at least broke a flag record, because of the pop-up. That was till I looked at what the pop=up said: "You've broken....bla bla .....9x9 record".......WTF is THAT!!? Is that a joke? 9x9 record on Expert?! Even more confused I started to check my 3BVS...no record....IOS...no record.......RQP....no record..........WTF!? 9x9 record? OMG WTF I'm screwed!!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for listinging, I needed to get this of my mind. ![]() |

How to watch Clone videos from China and Japan |
Comments: |
Go to the "Control Panel" and select "Regional and Language Settings". On the "Regional Options" tab set "Standards and Formats" to "China (Hong Kong)". Leave "Location" as your country (my computer is set to "Canada"). On the "Advanced" tab, set the language for non-unicode programs (ie, Clone) to "English". Reboot your computer and you can now watch Clone videos from China, Japan, Singapore and Taiwan. On my computer these settings allow me to watch ALL clone videos - Chinese and English. WARNING: Any videos you make with these settings will display as 'corrupted' if you try to watch on your normal settings, so you should use your regular settings when you play. This trick was noticed by Yuuki Nakaguri and posted in the Forum on 28-Oct-06. The only setting he changed was to make English the language for non-unicode characters. His other settings were Japan (location) and Japanese (format). |

Woot! I just beat the density record with 221 mines on a 24x30 board! Been trying to break this record forEVER! Just emailed it to Damien and hopefully he'll have it up on the next update. Hmmm, now back to the standard speed boards, or do I keep playing density? |

hey Rodrigo! grats for your record and your results at uni ![]() ![]() ![]() 1. compatibility between the Latin charset and the Asian charset versions of the Clone. 2. figure out (and hopefully take measures on) why the memory consumption of the Clone is titanic. 3. fix "double click to open a vid produces 'video is corrupted' error". ... this is what comes to mind for the moment... night all!! ![]() |

@Rodrigo: Good to see you around here, btw. I always thought the creator of Clone had retired from playing minesweeper. In case your wondering what KAmil was referring at. After playing a zillion beginner/intermediate/expert boards on Clone he statistically concluded that the 3BV restrictions of Clone 2007 aren't the IMC determined 2,30,99 but actually 3,31,100 (or 101). It's seems like an '>' versus '>=' software buggy to me (I'm a programmer myself and made a lot of those bugs). Is there any possibility that you or another programmer will continue the Clone project? It would be to sad if the source would be lost, because it still is the most complete Minesweeper Clone that I know of, so if the Clone project can be continued, there would be no need for someone to make a whole new Clone in the future. ![]() BTW, I think you should open a paypall account and say that for each bug fix you want people to donate money. I would sure be willing to finance. ![]() |

Hello everyone, it's me, Rodrigo!

I finally presented it on May 25th and it was accepted. ![]() Now that I (hope to) have more free time, I've been thinking about making major changes on the Clone. I've been reading the GB constantly, but still didn't compile a list of nice features to include. Anyway, I already have some ideas. Any suggestion is appreciated, either here or on my e-mail. P.S.: as I still don't have a folder on the Wiki page, I uploaded it in the old style: geocities page!! ![]() ![]() |

@Fritz: Txs.......Oranje 3-0 Italy ![]() @Damien: I already commented on previous page about Diegos vids, so I'll just copy/paste it: his vids look a lot like he solves them with pre-knowledge. Especially his split second starting moves seem to suggest he knows his first clicks. Also on expert he opens 2 openings half way on unlikely positions and he moves directly to the surrounded square in lower right corner and doesn't even hesitate on the square next to it. To me he seems to have played his boards before. |

Website updated on Sunday. Congrats to fritz getting in top40. I would like you all to watch Diego Vizia's videos. His playing history is like this: 18Jan07: 4 (xp) - 21.202 (clone) - 78 (xp) 28Jan07: 3 (clone) - 75 (xp) 12Aug07: 1.234 (3) (7aug) - 12.580 (42) (11aug) - 60.258 (155) (12aug) 12Aug07: Made 7,927 3bv/s in 2.134s 3bv=9. 13Aug07: Made 8,991 3bv/s in 3,558 3bv=23. I feel there is something not right with the 12 video and the 3bv/s videos. His Clone 3-22 and XP 75 (on video) are 'normal'. I would appreciate your comments. At the moment, these scores are on probation ![]() |

Hey everyone, I would like to announce that the IMC discussion has started in earnest again in the IMC forum (linked below and can be found at http://imc.martinpre.net). However, discussions run best when they have participants, and the more the better. So, I would like to invite everyone to contribute to the discussion. We have split up the discussion into subtopics so that it is not necessary to read through everything in order to understand what is going on in one part. I have just started a thread about IMC rankings that I believe to be of interest for the whole of the community and hope that people will offer their opinion there, seing as most people that posted on the guestbook said that rankings were one of the most important tasks for the IMC, and seing as there is probably going to be a lot of controversy here. It would be great if people offered their opinion on a topic so important for the community. |

@WP: I check the IMC board every few days but there's never anything new. I made a long post on the guestbook here and a reasonably long post on the board itself, but there isn't anyone else really doing the same (with regard to IMC matters) It's hard to have a conversation by yourself - come on guys. |
