I think it's waiting for the particles that happen when you make a move on this version of the game to clear up as to not mess up what the bot is seeing since I assume it's tracking individual pixels
what's the point of placing flags? you can win the game just by clicking all the spots that aren't mines, flags are actually useless when you have effectively infinite memory
You’re absolutely right!! The way that I programmed the bot is that it constantly takes a screenshot of the current board and plays according to what it currently sees. This means that flags are important in this method since the bot always forgets its previous screenshot. My method is slower but it is easier to implement and debug. A better way to do it (as you pointed it out) would be to store the board in the computer’s memory and update the mental map after each move. This way, we can optimize the performance of the bot since it won’t need to rely on flags to know the location of each mine.
@@cossibility7019 ok, also how did you detect each tile? I'm having issues with what you said you did (check a pixel and see what color it is) because there are pixels that are on the number 1 and will work for it, but for a 4 or something, it'll just be the background color
What I did is that I took a specific coordinate where each specific tile has their unique pixel colour (I don’t remember the specific coordinate). One thing to be careful with this method, however, is that you have to take into account the particle animations of the game. Each time you click a tile, there are different coloured particles that appear on the screen which can ruin the screenshot. My cheap solution to avoid the issue is to wait a certain amount of milliseconds after performing each move (I wait for the animation to end). This solution is what mainly makes my bot slower. If you don’t want to wait for the animation to end, I believe that there are Python libraires that can deal with image detection (they can recognize similar images)
The PC that we once owned had minesweeper on it. It must have been glitched, or modded somehow, because there was one tile that completes the entire board if you click it first. It was always the same tile, so I was able to beat the hardest difficulty in 2 seconds. The rest of my family went crazy trying to figure out how I did this.
@@aakashxd9868 Clicking a cell reveals it. If said cell has a mine, you instantly lose. The goal is to open every non-mine cell. Every cell you've already opened will display a number on it. That number is how many mines there are in the 8 surrounding cells. Using this information, you can deduce which tiles have a mine and which tiles don't (in which case they're safe to open). Also, there's a thing called flags which allow you to mark tiles as having a mine (so you don't accidentally open them later).
@@xenird If you take the time it takes for the clear transition to complete (when you click an empty square), let's say it's 5 frames or about 83ms, then multiply that by however many times you'd clear, i'll lowball it and say its about 10, you get 833ms. 10 seconds might be too high but I don't think a bot can complete google's minesweeper in under a second. A minesweeper with no transitions however can be completed way faster, but it depends how open the field is aka how many clear squares you're clicking
That's because in fighting games they can't predict what the player is thinking as they have a consious mind, while here, they can predict as every code has a pattern, patterns are easy to predict therefore easier -🤓
I feel like this could be upgraded with concurrency. Right now the bot will first click a lot and then place flags, then repeat. It should be possible to do more things at once and with less waiting time in between
This could be further optimised by implementing so that the bot doesnt analise the whole board every time but instead just an area around his latest move. This could continue untill no move could be done in an area, after which it could analise a bigger area or the board for the nearest posible move.
It’s interesting, as a human Minesweeper player, to see a bot alternate between opening ALL safe spaces and flagging ALL dangerous spaces. Super multitasking.
simply be smarter than a human and not take the gamble, duh, it should leave it be until it has more information from other tiles being revealed around the initially troubling ones (this wasn't meant to be insulting btw, I was simply trying to play an arrogant personality as a joke)
@@MatiasRupp nope, not how minesweeper works. unless you’re on the last click, you just do another spot and wait until it brings you back toward that area with more information. you don’t have to take a gamble before the last click, and gambles on the last click are very rare.
To my experience, just pick on depend its spawn pattern Like a number got L-shape empty tiles | | x | | | | 3 | 2 I |1 | 1 ||||| then pick the x tile cus most of time (not always) will be a safe spot That spawn pattern usually occured so its high chance of safe Only do this when u actually no choice more than random pick, and hope its a good tile
The bot didn't go faster because it uses screenshots to analyze the board and the particles flying around makes it hard to do so. So it has to wait a bit for the particles to disappear first.
I didn't think this was all that impressive until I realized the bot didn't have any special API access. It needed to take screenshots of the game and process the images constantly to understand what was going on, and calculate where on the screen to move the mouse to before clicking. That's a really cumbersome process to have to code.
@@Mik-kv8xx speed is not what i'm refering to. I mean patter recognition and that kind of stuff. A good Minefield player would have flaged more mines in some parts of the video and wouod also have cleared more spaces in some other parts. The bot is missing some stuff

Seems like it works on screenshots and thus dependant on the app's speed, thus oddly you can just kinda keep up with what moves it will do the next cycle.

You need to cut down that waiting time. I don't think the bot was thinking. I think the bot was like "Did I win? ...No" Edit: By you, I mean the programmer who made it.
@@bookle5829 Yeah umm so if you guys are curious, the reason why my bot is slow is kinda dumb and funny. So notice that in Google minesweeper, when you click on a tile, there is particle animations. These particle animations actually ruin the screenshot that the bot takes to detect the tiles lmao. So i just made the bot wait for the particle animations to end before taking the next screenshot. So basically, the bot is like “Are the particles gone so that I can take a clean screenshot… No” Using advance image detection libraries, I could probably cut the waiting time of the bot by making the bot guess tiles even if there are particles covering them. But yeah, I don’t feel like it cuz I’m working on a another project right now. 😅
@@cossibility7019 Instead of scanning for green tiles. Why don't you scan for pixel of the color of number 1, 2, 3, 4 in each tiles. You won't have to deal with the animation. Edit: fixing minor typos
As a Polish guy, you are right, i can win the game faster than this bot can due to the fact that i memorised all the patterns and know about right clicking
It’s a bit evident how it having to “see” the board affects its performance. It has to wait for the board to clear to update its knowledge database, scan the image, recreate it in a model which the function is able to understand (probably a matrix), analyze the state of the board and then manually use the mouse to click on each conclusion made before. The program not having access to a mathematic model of the board, and instead having to build it manually each time, is what ends up slowing it the most.
By left and right clicking a number while it has sufficient flags around it, it automatically clears all of the squares that can be cleared and are also neighbours of that number
The bot waits too long when switching between clearing tiles and placing flags, the latter being completely unrequired for a bot who places them after it figures out where bombs are.
