But, unlike the original Minesweeper, in its default mode Minestein will always produce puzzles that can be solved using logic - no guessing is required. For traditionalists, Minestein also has an "Original" mode which is equivalent to the standard program. If users get stuck or are still learning, Minestein has a button providing a two stage hint mechanism, plus "show answer" and "show solution" buttons. It can produce puzzles with a minimum difficulty rating. The Python source code is included in the download.</p> | Minestein 0.01 | new | Minestein |
