===============
So, finally, I finished hooking up the Minesweeper solvers I wrote
many years ago to a graphical visualization that lets you play the
game as well. These are now available at the FTP server
(ftp://sqrmax.homeip.net, user smalltalk, password now). The game
comes in two formats: a Windows .exe, and the image for those that
want to use other operating systems. As usual, UPX does a wonderful
job of packing the .exe... it's 10-15% smaller than a .rar archive of
the image alone. Enjoy!
And now, the release notes...
Known Limitations.
* The solvers do not make guesses. It is not the point of my
Minesweeper research to produce such guesses.
* The C and K solvers may require a very large amount of time to
complete in some cases. These cases, although not too frequent, appear
with large boards that have more than 20% of mines (e.g.: 40x40x370).
Eventually, I would like to add a [STOP!] button.
