      I didn't understand it at first, but just like with Taiji, Tyler explaining it helped me to understand it. And the colored marks especially helped. Though I had to keep pausing the video every couple of seconds to be able to follow along with the logic.
      Also thankful that the game added the adjacency indicator. This game legit would've been impossible for me to follow along without it. That would be like nightmare difficulty where you're actually forced to comprehend 4 dimensional space in order to play the game.

      It's a handful, to remember, but it's not hard, it's 40 mines on a board that's 256 tiles... and each tile is only adjacent to at most 80 other tiles. The way it actually narrows down things with the intersection of cubes... is pretty decent.

      You could use the highlighter tool from this game, but instead of using a 4D cube, use a randomly populated and connected graph. Squares could be neighbors with literally any other square on the board with no rhyme or reason.
      For extra diabolicalness, you could have neighboring relationships be one way. A cell May count its neighbor to the left, but that neighbor to the left wouldn't look at the original cell.

  • @Geobeetle
    @Geobeetle Год назад +26

    I think the key to understanding this is the stuff he said about cell adjacency. Each mark in minesweeper says how many mines are adjacent to that number. Typically in minesweeper that’s only for 2 dimensions. In a fourth dimensional space there are multiple different cubes of adjacent tiles, so “adjacent” also takes into consideration the mines inside the various other cubes that are adjacent to that numbered square. Since we aren’t capable of visualizing the fourth dimension, it is simplified here by taking each face of the hypercube and laying them out in 2 dimensions.

    I appreciate your pointing out the logic of "The same number of mines are in this set and this superset, so the excess can be checked as not mines", normally that wouldn't be as important in regular Minesweeper, or at least, not as obvious. Also, I love the visual aides in the program (although, as you said, a marking system would be nice), I can see that helping a lot with managing the information, as 4D space is not at all intuitive.
    Great video as always!

    You could’ve gotten rid of 27 spaces after uncovering the first two 14’s, because they would have the same number of mines but the left most 14 would add 27 spaces. I love your vids and am a big fan of whatever you seem to play, or you just make everything interesting!

      @@PatriPastry The way I look at it is that each board is a normal minesweeper board, but each of the minesweeper boards are also positioned as a 2d-board in which corresponding tiles on neighboring boards are directly adjacent.

    An alternative way to think about "4D" specifically is to consider a time dimension. A 4D cube could (choosing seconds arbitrarily) exist over 4 seconds. The cube in second 1 is adjacent to second 2, which is adjacent to 1 and 3 etc.
    Time is a literal 4th dimension, so it can be pretty useful to think of it that way (though we can generally only traverse it in one direction, if you could go back in time it would be close to equivalent to the 3 spacial dimensions :))

    Schrödinger's mine. It's a 1 by 1, and you sit there for an hour banned from clicking it. After an hour there will either be a mine or no mine inside, and it's up to you to guess whether there's a mine in it or not.
