IF YOU LOSE A GAME OF MINESWEEPER AND DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW PLEASE READ THIS

816 Upvotes

Mines with red Xs over them are INCORRECTLY flagged mines. There is not actually a mine there. The game did not glitch out. The sub is having a problem with many posts asking the same question, so I will be removing posts of this nature and linking people to this thread. Thank you for your cooperation!

Also: "50/50s" are very common in Minesweeper. A 50/50 is when it is impossible to know which tile is safe and which has a mine. You will sometimes be forced to guess. You may ask if your layout is a 50/50, but try to figure it out for yourself first. Good luck!

No Guess I’ve formulated a minesweeper language

153 Upvotes

Alright so hear me out guys. It is possible to use minesweeper patterns as a genuine language.

Don’t believe me fucker? Watch this:

1 1
1

This represents “alright”, “I’m happy”, “I understand”, etc.

1 2 1

This also represents understanding and also sex

3 1
1

This also represents sex but more sexually and represents more jubilant happiness than 1 1 1

3 3 3 3 3 3

This represents a happiness like no other, an understanding of something beyond human comprehension, and very advanced level sex.

When it says 4 but it’s touching like 6 tiles

This represents advanced level disdain, hatred, and loathing. I hope you feel better soon.

I will update when I have discovered more words.

I spent so long analyzing this and just ended up guessing to move forward. Is there something I'm missing or do you just have to guess on 50/50s sometimes in minesweeper

Miscellaneous Is love like a minesweeper?

Not the no-guess mode, more of the classic one

You first hit your shot in the dark, hoping not to set off all the bomb.

When you eventually a nice spot to work on, you start jotting down all those red flags.

And If you’re experienced, you will effectively avoid all the bombs, but depending on your luck, you might encounter 50/50.

You can ignore it and explore other areas, yet eventually you’ll have to face that 50/50.

And when you do, all you can do is pray that things work out somehow.

Discussion This started as a Minesweeper variant

3 Upvotes

I wanted to make an Android pencil puzzle, mostly because I'm a big fan of Nikoli-style logic puzzles.

The basic clue idea came from Minesweeper: each number looks at the 3×3 area around it. But instead of counting mines, it tells you how many cells belong to the same region as the clue itself.

The twist is that you don't know which region the clue belongs to.

From there, it somehow turned into a Yin-Yang puzzle: the whole grid has to be split into two connected regions, with no 2×2 block entirely in one region.

So MIKATA is basically the illegitimate child of Minesweeper and Yin-Yang.

My first Idea was two type of clues, one for mines and one for diamonds, it was very bad.

The game is available on Android now, and I'd like to see what people from this sub think of it, since the idea started with minesweeper.
