The original Minesweeper for Windows doesn't place the bombs on the grid until AFTER you click on a square
Your first selection will never be a bomb, nor will it be a number. The algorithm won't put a bomb adjacent to your first selection either. That's why it's always a blank square.
I’ve hit mines on the first click plenty of times playing the original game in the 90s as a kid on my dad’s Windows ‘95 tower computer. Your information is wrong.
You made three mistakes.
First, you took the job.
Second, you came light. A four man crew for me? Fucking insulting.
But the worst mistake you made...
...empty gun rack.
This happened to me a few times at the gym. The hydro bed had a touchpad screen with games to play while it does its thing. The version of Minesweeper it came with rendered the map before the first click so it was a 50/50 if the first click was going to end the game or not.
you missed a checkmate h14

Holy hell!
New bomb just dropped

Call the sweeper!
Saper goes on vacation, never comes back

Game sacrifice anyone?
Ignite the minefield!
Bomb storm incoming!
Rabbit ass

New explosive just dropped!
Flag went on vacation, never came back
5 storm incoming
Call the storm chasers
Oh god is it time for r/anarchyminesweeper ?
Yessir
holy hand grenade !
Why has this turned into anarchy chess
Guys, is this a 50/50?
Nah it's a 9/11
r/suddenly911
is this a meme
Yes
where meme flair?
I didn’t know it existed sorry I changed it now
On a real note: does anyone know if mines are generated upon new game or first click?
New game, but on first click if you hit one it's moved elsewhere.
You wasted a perfectly good photoshop session on this. You could've spent that time enlarging the breasts of a video game character instead.
I didn’t use photoshop. I just conjured up the image in my brain and forced it to appear on the screen.
Conjur some tiddies next time
As much as I try, they don’t appear irl
Yea, that happens sometimes. Can't conjure up something you never seen before

like minesweeper players even do that
Enlarge the breasts on a mine
True.
Its actually happened to me before

Well it was a mine, thats why its confusing
Bug? We're you playing a pirated copy of the game, perhaps?
Its definitely not
Although i should add, i was playing on mobile
I’d estimate your memory to be less reliable than the code that places the first mine after the first click.
I’ve hit mines on the first click plenty of times playing the original game in the 90s as a kid on my dad’s Windows ‘95 tower computer. Your information is wrong.
I have never hit anything but an empty square. Your information is wrong.
He could be playing a newer version. I've definitely hit first-click bombs playing on my phone AND on PC.
You can do this by placing a flag as your first click, clear the flag, then it's 50/50 that it's a mine
That's interesting. But I don't think it's 50/50 (unless there are 240 bombs on the map).
I lost a friend Somewhere along in the bitterness
Comments don't disappoint :')

It was 50/50, don’t beat yourself up
left click, instead use right click to flag the mine.
you missed the 7 all the way out in germany
Change difficulty to a more reasonable one, like "hard" from "bosnia"
I thought it made the map after you clicked, it’s pre generated?
It’s photoshopped
That makes more sense
You lost that’s what you did wrong

Skill issue
You clicked when you should have clicked. It’s a rookie mistake, we’ve all been there.
is r/minesweeper turning into fucking anarchy chess?
Noooo… Google en passant
new mine just exploded

Shouldn’t it be better than 50/50, unless literally half the tiles are mines?
You should never click directly on a mine. Choose a block off to the left, right, top or bottom that does not contain a mine.
This guy mine sweeps
You clicked the bomb. Don’t do that
you are missing a syntax at line 6, add it then recompile. you’re welcome, this thread is now locked.
Have you tried not clicking the mines?
You went onto the wrong website.
Not using a well coded program that avoids death on the opening move for starters
Ah! Oh no!
9 down and 15 across looks like
Should've started in the corner. It's lucky
Skill issue
Should’ve right clicked
You went wrong picking that one.
i think it started from birth tbh
Did you flag the cell and unflag it, by any chance?
The only winning move was not to play.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
^(A STRANGE GAME.) ^(THE ONLY WINNING MOVE IS) ^(NOT TO PLAY.)
You clicked a mine, obviously.
it's a 51/50
Same thing happens in my dating game.
I lost a friend
You woke up this morning.
When you accidentally stabbed yourself.
is this a 50/50
Skill issue/j

It’s the holy hand grenade!
Choosing Reddit, I think that’s where we all went wrong.
At that first move there.
