Talk:Minesweeper game
Too long?
It took several hours to write the task description and to code this tasks initial Python solution. I will probably set the sample output to scroll when the page gets too long, but other language examples may well have to be sub-pages.
I freely admit that the task was chosen with an eye to attracting those new to programming :-)

Differences in behavior from classic game
- The clearing criteria seems wrong or ill-defined. In the classic game if you clear a square that has one or more adjacent mines no further clearing happens. If the square has zero adjacent mines a clearing is opened to an edge of non-zero numbers. (The small size of the board and mine probability makes it hard to properly demonstrate the clearing criteria) --Dgamey 09:55, 11 July 2010 (UTC)
