Fast Times
 

The easiest way to show low scores in Minesweeper is to edit the file C:\Windows\winmine.ini

But, if you want a good time without cheating, i can beat a rubik's cube consistantly under 5 min and I once had a time of 3:37. Can anyone top that?

I've been busy playing Euchre lately (on Yahoo or with friends!) and JT's Blocks on Yahoo... heh heh - I spend waaay too much time doing that!

Alright Katie.. this is an official challenge, I have some other euchre junkies on my team and I can train em in time.. so here's my challenge, if we're at a competition together, we find time to have a euchre tournament.. I've been playin' for yrs now.. and my best friends and I used to play almost every other day when we had lunch together. So yea.. I love euchre, and I challenge you and yea... the heat here is really mushing my mind..

Can't say I'm that fast. I'm too cautious. When I solve expert, it's usually around 300 secs.

But to make it more interesting, I have taken to NOT flagging the mines. When you finally have exposed the last free spot, it's quite dramatic when all the flags appear at once.

And another thing... Has anyone ever seen an "8" in Minesweeper? I have only once.

Re: Re: Re: minesweeper!
 

I've seen a 1 in mine sweeper, expert mode. Then again, I was editing the ini file :)

Fooled a couple people though..

"8"
 

I think he was refering to a square with 8 mines around it, which I have only seen in a custom mode....

Re: Re: Re: Re: minesweeper!
 

I didn't edit the .ini file. :D This is an actual unretouched screen shot. (Aside from converting to .jpg format to save downloading time.) Can you figure out my secret?


This one I did retouch just to show what the "8" looks like.

bah
 

too bad you weren't a little closer when you made a new "Best Times" window, that isn't what the minesweeper one looks like at all. But, nice try... just out of curiousity, what did you use to make the window? VB, C++?

Re: bah
 

That is excatly what it looks like for me.
It wouldn't suprise me if there were diffrent versions for teh diffrent flavors of Windows. I myself am running 2000.

Win2k....its stable AND compatible...

No really!
 

It is indeed Windows 2000.

Re: No really!
 

Jolly good show.

Windows 2000 is the only version of windows that I would ever consider running.

in win2k what happens if you go over 999? I know in 98se it just stops counting.

I thought I started a thread about my high scores in Solitaire, but now it just seems to be about Minesweeper. So much for that I guess.

Its Chit-Chat.
When has chit-chat ever stayed on topic of long?
:rolleyes:
