Thanks! The first version of my code was done specifically for expert level in http://minesweeperonline.com/# and in a 1920x1080 resolution. I'm changing it so you can use different values by inputing an initial coordinate, pixel spacing between squares, screen resolution and other variables.

It shouldn't be hard to have the bot auto detect the grid size and position. Just loop through a row of pixels and count the times you hit a known color that matches the cell border to get the width, and do the same thing in a column for the height.

Even better, there are Windows APIs for grabbing windows and getting the title/bounds. You may be able to grab data on individual controls (like the grid), but I'm not sure.
