The game claims that the "2 at 4, 0 is done" - in what sense is it "done"? I hadn't marked two mines next to it yet.
- coder543 6y agoIt’s “done” because the numbers around it leave no option to move its mines around. Since the mine locations have been fixed in that particular part of the game board, you’re guaranteed that the square at 3,0 is safe. Instead, you clicked on a square you couldn’t possibly know was safe (in the middle of nowhere) when there was at least one square that was definitely known to be safe, so the game punished you for it, exactly as promised. I played a few rounds on an iPad, so I had no way to mark mines, and the game works just fine. Marking mines has always been for your benefit, to make it easier to remember where the mines are.
- FartyMcFarter 6y agoThanks, I think the problem was indeed the way I was interpreting the output!
- seth00 6y agoThe square at coordinates x=3, y=0 counting from the top-left cannot hold a mine (the one next to the 2). Try to assume a mine is there and calculate where the other mines would have to be to satisfy the 2 and the 3 below. It's impossible, therefore that top-left square is safe and because you guessed when you didn't need to, you lost the game. I agree that the game doesn't make it very clear why you lost.
