Thanks eulerscheZahl for making this game live again, and using win98 design is the best idea! :)

Oh no, I wanted to be the first to write something funny about Netscape and eDonkey. Too late...

I had a nice time remembering good old days, but I found it too "random", too many mines. I actually could not make it. The informed decisions were made right by the program. I knew right where the mines were... but there were always a point (several) in which I had to take a random choice (I chose among those with least possibilities of mine given the information). Either I am very unlucky, or it was too difficult or I am missing something (??). Thanks anyway for the game

First of all, it's not always possible to solve the game without guessing. The solving rate should be somewhere around 50% I think. There are some cases that might be a little tricky to spot: https://prnt.sc/... we can tell that the mines are at the spots of the red X'es here. Are you able to find those mines?

That's awesome! Too bad we can't move the window... :P And we can't click on the smiley face?

That sounds complicated, I was happy to get the debug view working without drawing an entirely new board :D We can click the smiley? I always used Game/New back in my childhood.

✅ Approved the contribution. Comment: "Show me the real minesweeper game" -Replay shows an ugly console text output "No, the real minesweeper" -Replay shows 4K graphics with raytracing "I said the real minesweeper" -Replay with Windows 98, Netscape and Minesweeper "Perfection" I usually complain a lot about UI in some games, but this is just perfect.

Damn I wanted to code that game, you beat me to it :)

Then you qualify for reviewing it ;)

I got an error in the first frame in some languages (JavaScript, C++,...) : "ERROR: ld.so: object 'libstdbuf.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded: ignored." Maybe a codingame problem ? Nice rendering by the way !

That's a known issue on the CodinGame side. Reported on discord multiple times and unrelated to this puzzle.

✅ Approved the contribution. Comment: I refuse this contribution because the Netscape 6 icon is completely anachronistic with Win95.

I used a Win98 second edition to take the screenshot :P

Upvoted for the retrogaming touch

Don't miss the opportunity give it the Win93 look!

Ok, solved. Not much to say on the game/referee side, apart from the sanitizaing/crashability, all worked as expected, so it's good to go. If you're inspired, you can still take care of those MAJOR issues: * the sun button doesn't react to the game * the clock is stuck * the desktop icons aren't aligned :fear: (And I'd downvoted instead of upvoting. Oops. Fixed. Sorry for the false alarm)

I fixed the clock for you (kind of: shows the right time when you open the replay, no updating, wrong font). The crashing should be addressed too, will check in detail later. I still want to update the number of mines at the top and also add the win/dead smiley face. And some more icons to clutter the desktop, e.g. winrar and some old messenger. As soon as I figure out how to go online with this Windows 98 VM.

Yeah, I don't sanitize my inputs yet and your y-value was too big.

Love the Win95 retro theming ^^ Though it's already getting on my nerves that the minefield doesn't occupy the entire viewport. Could we have a viewer option, please? :D

eulerscheZahl Unnamed CodinGamer

Sure, I'll add a toggle. Thanks for the idea.

I'm aware that it's a duplicate of https://www.codingame.com/... But this one is interactive and a little easier to solve (you don't have to solve everything in 1 turn and can get lucky by guessing).
