The mad scientists are at it again.
If you thought “hard” mode in the previous Solitaire game was maybe a touch too hard, here’s another classic, with algorithms re-imagined to maximize frustration.
Minesweeper
Gameplay:
- This will take some time to load and pregenerate a cache of games to pull from, as there is a game solver working in the background;
- Click and avoid mines (your first click will always be safe)
- Use the numbers to infer the neighbors that have mines.
- Shift-click to mark your discoveries (or right-click on browsers that allow the context menu to be shut off)
- Always be stuck somewhere and have to make a potentially fatal guess!
(Making a game is easy; the underpinnings took many iterations of spelling out algorithms to AI models that could not understand…)
