I just worked on my scores, here are the updated ones:
Beginner: 7 seconds
Intermediate: 51 seconds

Beginner: 1 second, because I was really lucky.
Intermediate: 24 seconds
Expert: 82 seconds, I think. I lost my top scores a long time ago and I think it was 82 seconds. But I definately managed 89 seconds.

Believe it or not, I've never played Minesweeper. I'm aware of it and have watched other people play it, but I have yet to do so myself.

Uhh, no idea, last time I played it was in 1999 or so.

How the hell do you freakish people do it so fast? The best I hit on Beginner is ~35 seconds.
Hey, Blue? I'm loving the things you do. From the very first time, the fight you fight for will always be mine.

Y'know how pressing LMB and RMB together will clear all 8 squares (except those flagged as mines) around the one you click on, right? It lets you demolish sections of the minefield pretty fast. I just did the beginner in 16 seconds without particularly trying.

the LMB and RMB doesn't select any squares for me... It shows all 9 squares being pressed but nothing happens when I let go.

oops sorry, it'll only open it up if you click on a numbered square with the correct number of flags around it. You should only mess up if you've flagged the wrong square.
2007-05-29, 4:03 PM #14
I checked the help about it. It only works on number tiles with that number of flags around that tile.

It didn't seem to save me much time.

Edit: Instaposted with more legible information. Bleh.

Yes, I do, thats how I got those times.

If you have a flagged mine with a 1 next to it, then you RMB and LMB.

if you get a total score (beginner+intermediate+expert) of 99 or less, it means you are a minesweeper god

I'd be happy to give you a copy of minesweeper I wrote in java. It's almost as good as the original. :p

I use wine primarily for playing Minesweeper. The Linux minesweeper games suck.

I don't think I've ever beaten it. Too lazy, boring game.

I never played Minesweeper.

Nor solitaire for that matter.

Crappy games made to waste time blows more than a prostitute payed a million dollars.

GNOME Mines: Already opened fields look like unopened fields. Though that could be due to my GTK-theme.
KMines: You mark mines on releasing the right mouse button, not on pressing it, which makes the game slower.

I don't have any other minesweeper games (besides the Microsoft one) installed, so I can't check what I didn't like about them.
