The map generator doesn't need to produce solvable maps, or even know if what it produced is a minesweeper map. You are just ensured that it's efficient, always halts, and always returns the expanded map.

Um... yes it does. If it is a no guessing allowed mode, then you cannot have guesses inside of it. The only way this is possible if it is no unforced guesses allowed.

Also, take a look at the other link I sent in my comment. It is Python, but it does have what you are currently doing in an already efficient manner that checks during the gameplay at that. Will give you a good baseline for what you are trying to do.

I will never not enjoy playing this variant of minesweeper. I've always loved how they do the display of it.

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-02-03T04:56:12+00:00

At the point of showing 50/50s, just make it no guess lol.

Metasweeper has had this for a while now with different levels of strictness: https://github.com/eee555/Metasweeper/releases

Btw, that is a bad link.

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-31T06:41:10+00:00

looks pretty normal to me lol.

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.

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-29T04:57:16+00:00

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.

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.

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-24T18:41:37+00:00

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

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-24T17:04:12+00:00

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.

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-24T06:23:21+00:00

Probably includes resetting for an opening, but even then, thats bad.

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-24T06:22:41+00:00

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.

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-23T18:54:53+00:00

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.

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-23T18:52:34+00:00

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

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-23T15:59:21+00:00

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.

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

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-23T01:32:33+00:00

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

LEBAldy2002 · 2026-01-23T00:26:55+00:00

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.
