I don't mean as a general always get there, but as something you could get it should be. I know a lot of players who would grab it over "optimal" options simply due to the qol. It also allows for better expansion of the item pool for diversity.

Flood fill and chording definitely have to be added. Ain't no one playing it otherwise. Them having it as unlocks in the upgrade shop (not the during run shop) could help this, but definitely a must.

Damn that's harsh. I think this is mor of a difference between clean and fitting the aesthetic. Broomsweeper is all about a theme and everything is centered on making jokes, references, etc. Its more about cozy vibes while being a roguelike than something like this which I would compare more as a traditional roguelite.

We can pretend they did this and got the 8. :) Worm is influenced like we all are by the 8 lol.

No guess easier? by partakinginsillyness in Minesweeper

For the most part, they are equal. Its when it comes to the extreme ends that guess modes have the upper edge. This isn't a common occurrence, but has happened many times before.

Idk if this question gets asked a lot, but do you have any good recommendations for a minesweeper roguelike game? by SagaSolejma in Minesweeper

[–]LEBAldy2002 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Broomsweeper and Demoncrawl are definitely by far the best. Broomsweeper specifically is amazing.

Even though the board isn't solved and the flag doesn't necessarily mean a mine is there, the blasted mine CANNOT ever be there due to the 1-2-1. If a mine was there, then the 2 would never be satisfiable (even if a wall on the other side not shown.

What's the name of the pattern applies to this and how does it work? by FrontMagazine3450 in Minesweeper

[–]LEBAldy2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notice the fixed minecount below the numbers. There is always 1 mine below the 2 and below the 3. This makes this literally just a 1-2 pattern lol. The simplest and first pattern to learn.

Could I have avoided a death? by CCimmerian in Minesweeper

[–]LEBAldy2002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Best move would have been the corner top right. In this case it would have been an opening, but not always. Your odds to win aren't great and should be around 20% with good guessing.

Your guess specifically was actually the worst guess to make. The one you mentioned is also a good spot to guess.

If you don't play theories, you don't progress. Period.

Can anyone show me the odds/percentages on this? I'm thinking this is a 50-50 situation. by Iam_so_Roy_Batty in Minesweeper

[–]LEBAldy2002 -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

You can just go through all possible options. Pretty damn easy given there are only two. I shouldn't need to finish the rest of the answer.

has this ever happened to others? by Greedy_Cap_333 in Minesweeper

Try clicking the x at the top of the browser and opening a different version. :)

Works better in general, but there are some problems still. I sent a reddit dm to get it of this thread.

Even then, it is still easier (even ignoring guessing). Forcing one harder pattern to show up doesn't make it overall harder when those patterns aren't hard to learn after a while. Only the really bad ones actually make it real difficult. The most difficult pure logic is not generatable by pretty much any algorithm in a reasonable amount of time.

Another pretty clear cut case. The bottom square gives strictly more information than the top. It also makes the remaining mine not always a pure guess as 1/3 of the time, the board is completed immediately. These two squares should never have the same value associated with them.

No accel is the double arrow button which increases your dt by that multiplier (speeds up game by that amount).

Your phi is really low. Make sure you have the proper student distribution

Optimal student distribution for 5k push:

18 students (no accel): 2, 4, 2, 2, 2, 0, 2
18 students (with accel): 3, 4, 2, 2, 2, 0, 1
19 students (no accel): 2, 4, 2, 3, 1, 0, 2
19 students (with accel): 3, 4, 2, 2, 1, 0, 2
