MINESWEEPER - ANALYSIS AND SIMULATIONS

Minesweeper game look-alike, complete with an option to have the computer solve all the boring cases for you.

mineswee.me - a post I made to sci.math

mine3a.pas - Turbo 3 Pascal source code to the game

mineswee.com - PC executable

I also collected a few other posts and mail exchanges about the game -- some special configurations, how to cheat, etc. Mathematically, the game is just Linear Algebra You might also want to check out this link: Minesweep

For added fun, here's a pointer to an analysis of the complexity of Minesweeper problems.

I found pointers to XWindows Minesweepers:

Other pages at my own web site you may find of interest:

My home page is just a short introduction to the pages I maintain.
The parent page to this one is another short way-station, this time to a few pages concerning other mathematical games.
I keep a large set of pages which provide a thematic introduction to the subject areas of modern mathematics, complete with answers to thousands of more or less common questions.
