I've played Minesweeper a couple of times and found it quite boring.Ã,Â Plus, no matter what i always landed on a mine.

I guess i suck at it.

Watch and learn, people. This is flawed game design.

You're assuming that a good game should never be unfair and frustrating. I don't think that's true.

In fact, I believe that sometimes having make a wild guess makes Minesweeper more unpredictable, less mechanical, tenser, and on the whole more exciting. It's also a great excuse for people to load up One More Game.

My friend Amy could win any game of Minesweeper in under 10 seconds. Watching her play was like watching one of those crazy people play and win, like, Super Mario in 5 minutes. It's amazingly cool to watch.

Well I guess you can use the cheat to stop the clock after like 1 second. I used to try and do that, so when I checked the scores, I would look awesome.

I think he used Notepad to edit the high scores?

Uh, I don't really see "cheats" in that link, but I don't really care.

It is sadly possible to cheat with minesweeper...I dont know about using minesweeper, but you can actually tap into the code...I have been planning to design an algorithm to play minesweeper (without cheating) although I would have exposure to the underlying mine-map if I wanted!

I am pretty sure I beat this score over the summer but I forgot the time..anyway this is a good one!

I was remembering this topic recently! I was just messing around with minesweeper, and I got lucky. This time I made sure to take a picture as proof:

Apologies for the bad quality. I had to save it in such a way so that it could be uploaded within the timeframe of a day.

92... Pretty good! Some lucky guesses in there

(Have you really been working on this for eight months?)

Babar · Sun 30/07/2006 16:55:09

Hahahaha! No. I just found SnagIt on my PC, and learned about Windows Movie maker from Obi. My highest score is actually 89 seconds. But I only had a picture of that.
