MindSweeper is a modern version of the beloved minesweeper game, featuring a challenging and addictive puzzle that has withstood the test of time.
MindSweeper provides an exciting version of the classic minesweeper puzzle game that everyone loves to play. With a solver that plays along with you, this app makes it easy to determine if you can make a move without guessing. Alternatively, you can let the solver play for you!
The solver uses a "brute force" approach that begins by identifying all of the unmarked cells with available information. It systematically tests each possible arrangement of flags in those cells looking for flag combinations that are consistent with all available information. A count is kept for each cell of the number of valid arrangements in which it was flagged. The probability of finding a mine in a cell is determined by the ratio of this number to the total number of valid arrangements. A ratio of 0 means that the cell can be cleared with certainty, while a ratio of 1.0 means that it can be flagged with certainty.
MindSweeper includes several key features such as unlimited board size (limited by screen size), adjustable cell size, and four preset difficulty levels. Additionally, you can display the probability of finding a mine in each cell based on the information available, and autoplay the game.
The latest release of MindSweeper includes significant updates that improve its performance. For example, the solver has been split into a front-end and generic back-end, global variables are better organized, and a bug in the solver has been fixed. Also, the solver now computes mine probabilities for non-border cells.
Overall, MindSweeper is a great app that is easy to use and comes with cool features. Try it out today and experience endless hours of intense gaming fun!
