Fine, since you came out of the closet, I will too. I don’t understand Wordle, solitaire, bridge, or minesweeper. I can write a compiler soup to nuts… But I can’t figure out minesweeper.
- relaxing 4y agoThat’s interesting. Maybe the games are unique in that they ask you to make inferences about the hidden state of the world, whereas the compiler has the entire program available. Still, both problems (compilation, minesweeper) can be solved through the logical repetition of a basic set of rules.
- tomcam 4y agoI am going to claim that the documentation for all of these games tends to be so self referential that I think it only helps if someone has already showed you the ropes. I’m also 100% willing to accept a diagnosis that is much less in my favor
