my experience playing minesweeper mostly goes like: solving, solving, solving… ok so these three corners all have a 50/50 chance, the only thing I can do is click randomly while acknowledging there’s an 87.5% chance I lose for no real reason
There are plenty of versions that only generate no RNG fields
Yep, every time minesweeper comes up I link this version.
Open source, made by the PuTTY dev, and deterministic. No RNG outside of the map seed.
Correct.
The real challenge to minesweeper is speedrunning.
Back when I had a corpo job, I got really good at it and could pretty reliably solve the small one in under 15 seconds.
to be fair to the game, you can actually… tease out… more information than that, via what i can only describe as arcane rituals:

Never did I ever think I would read a comment thread about edging a game of Minesweeper.
These new age verification laws got people gooming to the weirdest stuff possible haha
Anyone else remember the cheat code for minesweeper?
Very big field + very few mines = decent chance of solving in a single click =D
