Can add new rule to Minesweeper ?

Can add new rule to Minesweeper ?
When u flag all mines correctly , u will win. No need uncover those squares which have not mine.
What's ur opinion?

[KamilSaper]

Totally 100% useless too see all mines positions, u have to have solved almost whole board, so it's definitely easier to clear safe squares

KAmil is right, minesweeper is not nonosweeper.

Although that rule would have the interesting aspect that every game would be solvable - just try all possible combinations for the 50:50es you have at the end

Speaking of which, as the timer starts (in winmine, even jumps to 1!) after the first normal square is opened, with lots of time, one could get a legit 0

(And believe me, I know what "lots" means in that case )

Maybe, but only if misflagging causes you to die

But seriously, no, not a good idea.

[LTsully]

I don't think it matters cause how many people honestly flag every mine on a board? I'd say not many people with under 100 on exp flag every mine.

[abiu]

yes,nobody flag all mine now.
but if we improve SUPER right click, then one can break his new record with this method.


SUPER Flag: right click a openned number square, if unopened around squares equal this number, flag all mines by one right click.

@abiu: now it really draws too far away from what makes minesweeper minesweeper

[Tommy]

I agree. Your ideas are interesting, but they change minesweeper far too much.

Maybe write your own version of the game?

Although I can't imagine that the super flag really makes you much faster, for reasons that I'll elaborate on when I have more time.

[EWQMinesweeper]

actually there already is a version that has what abiu calls 'superflag'

i guess with enough practice one can be a bit faster than in normal ms with it...
