    RULES:
    The object of the game is to uncover the map without clicking on any mines. Open a new game then left click randomly until you uncover some space and information to work with. If you click on a mine, you lose the game. Click on the smiley face to start a new game. A numbered square indicates how many mines are adjacent to that square either above, below, right, left or diagonally. Spaces not adjacent to any mines are blank, showing no number. The lowest number is 1 and the highest is 8. Using reason and deduction, use the known information from the revealed numbers to figure out where the mines are located. Right click to flag a spot you know where a mine is. Right click on a flagged to clear the mark. You will be unable to accidentally left click a marked square. If you perform a right and left click simultaneously on a number that has the corresponding number of flags adjacent to it, it will open all the squares surrounding that number that don’t have flags. You can also left click on the number to accomplish this. Once all the mines have been properly marked and the rest of the board cleared, you win.

    I think Windows 3.1 was the first time I've seen Minesweeper in any version. Although, Windows 3.0 might have had a Minesweeper game as part of a small games package. That was the custom install, although you would get everything if you did a full install.

      A number tells you how many mines that surround that number;
      for example, if you get the number 1, then there will be one mine somewhere around that number, and if you get the number 8, then that number will be completely surrounded by mines.
      You can use this information to figure out which squares that you can click on.
      Say for example that you have the number 1 on a square, and that square is surrounded by one unopened square, as well as seven empty squares;
      since you have the number 1 on the square, you know that there must be a mine somewhere around that square, and since seven of those squares are already revealed to be empty (in other words, they have neither numbers nor mines), then there must be a mine in the square that you haven't opened yet, so you need to avoid that square.
      You can identify the mines that you know contain mines by right-clicking on them;
      this will place flags on those squares, so that you know that you need to avoid them.
      Note that you might sometimes need to guess which squares that you can open, although you should be able to identify the squares that contain mines most of the time.

    • @Player-df7ny
      @Player-df7ny Год назад

      if you flag a mine incorrectly, and you touch on a number, that is supposed to free all the squares that are not flagged, if the adjacent flags are the same amount as the number you click on, and you flagged the mines incorrectly (i.e. you flagged a square that doesnt have a mine), then it will free squares that have a mine instead, making you lose the game. to avoid this, pay more atention when you flag mines, or don't chord (aka click on a number) if you're not sure.

      The numbers tell you how many mines that surround those numbers;
      for example, the number "1" means that there is exactly one mine somewhere around that number (above, below, left, right, upper-left, upper-right, lower-left, or lower-right), and so on.
      This means that if you get the number "8" (very rare), then that tile is completely surrounded by mines.
      You can also see opened grey tiles in a lot of places in this video, and those tiles have no mines at all around them, so they technically represent the number "0".
      Another example would be if you have the number "2", and you already have two mines around that number;
      this means that all other tiles are safe to open, since you already have the two mines revealed.

    • @Peter_1986
      @Peter_1986 8 месяцев назад

      ​@@aimdox Sometimes you will not have enough information for one particular square, and in those situations you will have to look around on other parts of the field, and try to deduce which squares that should have mines in them.
      You might sometimes have to use slightly more complex tricks, such as for example asking yourself what would happen IF a square had a mine in it;
      this could sometimes give you situations where you notice that a square that can only have one mine around it is forced by your assumption to have two mines around it, and this then means that your assumption was incorrect, and similar types of situations like that.
      This is similar to "proof by contradiction" in math.
      Note that it is _only_ the squares _closest_ to a number that are relevant for that number, in other words that squares immediately to the left, right, above, below and to the closest diagonals, which "touch" the number, so to speak.

      The numbers tell you how many mines that are around those numbers;
      the number "8" would be completely surrounded by mines, the number "1" would have exactly one mine somewhere around it, and so on.
      The trick is to find as much information as possible about each closed tile, so that you can determine which tiles that must contain mines.
