For anyone who wants to play Minesweeper without the hassle of trying to track down a known-good *.exe, I recommend Minesweeper X [0]. The board size isn't limited plus a ton of other features. It also works perfectly under WINE with Winetricks. [0] http://www.curtisbright.com/msx/ http://www.curtisbright.com/msx/

I’ll join you and show off mine as well! Runs in terminals, and also has a rougelike adventure mode where you navigate the board with a character. https://github.com/accatyyc/terminal-mines https://github.com/accatyyc/terminal-mines

  Minesweeper X isn't mine (just a happy user), but yours is cool too, thanks!

If you're using linux, there's Gnome Mines, http://linux.softpedia.com/get/GAMES-ENTERTAINMENT/Puzzle/GNOME-Mines-102556.shtml http://linux.softpedia.com/get/GAMES-ENTERTAINMENT/Puzzle/GN...

  KDE of course has its clone too: https://www.kde.org/applications/games/kmines/ https://www.kde.org/applications/games/kmines/ And as always with old XP era exes: ReactOS has its own compatible copies and you can use them in Windows and they will usually work (minesweeper from ReactOS does work on Windows 10, I just checked).

Here's my command-line minesweeper solver, in c++. It is not optimal, but does a pretty good job of solving expert sized minefields. I never worked out what percentage of minefields it solves, because I planned on doing some more work on end game scenarios. That was about ten years ago. The code is quite readable, so may be of interest to fellow coders, and anyone is welcome to extend it if they wish. https://github.com/tomcdonnell/minesweeper_solver_text_cpp https://github.com/tomcdonnell/minesweeper_solver_text_cpp

I'll add another implementation, Mines from the great sgt-puzzles collection. https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/ It has an option to "ensure solubility" similar to the one @gergoerdi mentions above.
