Minesweeper but Asyncronous Offline Coopʷʰᵃᵗᵉᵛᵉʳ ᵗʰᵉ ʰᵉˡˡ ᵗʰᵃᵗ ᵐᵉᵃⁿˢ

Hello people,
Me and my group made a gamejam based on mindsweepers and made it into an Offline Asyncronous 2x Coop game,
which basically means you can play with no connection needed whatsoever, as long that you and a friend can voice talk to figure it out as a team.

You can play the game here for free.

  • One player is able to oversee the normal game board
  • The other is phisically walking on it and has to reach the end on the other side.
  • Your two games are synced only through sharing encripted codes that the game provides

We worked on this during the Xbox Camp Game Jam in Kortrijk and we worked on this project roughly 3 days
We would like feedback from the community for suggestions, or just hope that yall can have fun playing this game.

Let us know if you enjoy or not with a comment on here or on the Itch.io Page.
Or maybe leave a comment to find someone to test it with.

Thanks for the love shown thus far.

New to Minesweeper and I just need someone to explain how I would solve the row of ones, because it's a problem I haven't been able to figure out (about 20 games in)

I just want to have the solution for future encounters please, this game is humbling me

On The Math Of "Dragonsweeper"

I just started a blog for writing about my personal interests. It's not about money or popularity, but I'll still gladly take constructive feedback :)

Today, I wrote a high-level math post (just some arithmetic, no theorems) about the Dragonsweeper game that has seen some features by Youtubers and streamers recently.

Graphic Minesweeper plus spritesheet – Commander Sweeper. Proceed with caution.

Minesweeper Plus 3.0 now features the ability to upload custom sprites for the Captain Sweeper. This spritesheet clearly shows where my imagination led.

I'm making a tutorial for my first person minesweeper game and I need you help!

I'm making a game called They Live Inside The Walls that is basically a first-person minesweeper horror roguelite, and right now I'm trying to address what I think is one of the biggest problems with the original minesweeper: it doesn't teach the player how to play, making the learning curve very steep for new players.

So I'm making a tutorial with not only the purpose of teaching the mechanics, but also giving the player some tools to start playing without being frustrated, while they learn more complex patterns.

I tried to have the same approach that I would have in explaining the game to a friend that never played before, but this is where I would need your help: are there some other cases that you would show to the player? Do you think that the explanation is easy to understand?

I tried to hold the hand of the player less and less while going on in the tutorial, do you think I balanced it right?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

What if Minesweeper was a 1v1 / 2v2 Competitive Esport? (App Idea Will u play it?)

Hey everyone,

I’ve been obsessed with the idea of making Minesweeper more "head-to-head" and I’m working on a mobile app concept focused on a ranking system and live multiplayer. I wanted to run the game modes by you guys to see if this is something you'd actually play.

The Core Modes:

1. The Turn-Based Battle (1v1 & 2v2)

  • 1v1: You and an opponent play on the same board. You take turns (5-10s timer) making moves. If you hit a mine, you lose. If the board is cleared, a larger, denser board spawns until someone slips up or runs out of time.
  • 2v2: Same logic, but you and a teammate share a board. You alternate moves with the other team. One mistake by either teammate ends the round for your side.

2. The Speed Sprint (1v1 & 2v2)

  • 1v1: You and an opponent race on identical, separate boards. You can’t see their board, but you see their live stats (tiles left, flags placed). Faster clear wins.
  • 2v2: You and your friend are on the same board at the same time. You’re both clicking simultaneously to clear it as fast as possible.
  • The Penalty: If you hit a mine in speed mode, you get a 3-second freeze penalty before you can click again.

Ranking System:

As you climb the ladder, the board difficulty scales by both dimensions and mine density, so high-rank games will be much more intense.

A few questions for the pros:

  1. Does sharing a board in 2v2 speed mode sound chaotic in a good way, or would it be too frustrating?
  2. In the turn-based mode, would you prefer a "blitz" style (5-10s per move) or something longer?
  3. What’s the "dealbreaker" for you in a mobile Minesweeper app?

Would love to hear your thoughts and is it something you would love to play so i can start coding or not!

Explain logic: Help me get better at minesweeper

basically, I kinda struggle to solve these types of stuff involving 1s and 2s. I drew up 3 examples here in a minesweeper solver, and I'm hoping some kind stranger would go into the comments and explain how I can reach this conclusion, because I probably couldn't. been staring at these solutions wondering how.

p.s. green flags are safe, some can be ignored since it's an incomplete board. red is mines

second note: my sister tried explaining these to me but she kinda failed. I still have the better minesweeper times but I need to know more before I can say I'm the better sweeper of mines!!!

I'm going to go to sleep and hopefully I can read helpful comments in the morning.
