Minesweeper
Gareth Hacking Started conversation Jan 6, 2004
Everyone knows the Minesweeper game that's been in almost every version of windows since forever, don't they? Something occurred to me today when I was playing it for probably the millionth time (popular distraction aid that it is).
Why is it I never pick a mine on your first go?
How does that happen? As soon as you click it will tell you how many mines are around that first square but it's never that first one. It's like the computer is capable of reading your mind, making sure that your first move is a safe move. It's probably some simple programming trick but you never know, do you?
I'm thinking a bit too much into this, aren't I?
