Recently, instead of working on the Basic contest entry like a good perseverant person would have, I've been working on a Basic Minesweeper-type game. The game itself is progressing quite nicely, and I think I've licked the final problem of recursively opening adjacent squares when you 'click' on an empty one. What I'm having a problem with is putting the thing on a 63x95 screen.
I've decided to put the 10x10 (63 by 63 pixels) in the right part of the screen, leaving a 31x61 area on the left for miscellaneous stuff (see screenshot). What I want to include in that is: the time, in seconds, used and the number of mines left; the high score and initials; a logo for the game (which I've had the creative idea of calling Mines) and possibly my name and United-TI somewhere if it fits.
Does anyone have suggestions? |

If your using a Ti-84+, then you can use the built in clock to get a timer count.
I think it's clockon and clock off. Gettimer->variable, then checktimer(variable->another variable. I'll have to check up on that.
But I don't see why you have a problem though? Couldn't use just use text(x,y,timevariable?
Though I do admit trying to fit the highscore, your name, and UTI on it is goin to be hard. |

I don't have a problem with the code. I have a problem with making it all look pretty. I admit I could just leave things the way they are now, with six text( instructions in neat rows. But it looks kind of ugly.

For the controls, don't forget to uncover all adjacent squares to an uncovered square that you click on (if there are the sufficient number of flags). You know how in the computer version it will uncover all adjacent squares to a square when you press both mouse buttons, as long as the number of adjacent flags matches the number on the square.
Could you post the code for recursively uncovering the empty squares? That would be useful in a Go game, and I'm too lazy to come up with one on my own if you've already written one.  I'll give you credit if I release it. |

How about the un/happy face?

[A] - matrix of the mines
[B] - matrix of uncovered squares
[C] - matrix of mines next to each square, to make calculating easier
all matrices have a border around them, for now, to prevent dimension errors
initial setup:
Code:
{-1-i,-1,i-1,-i,i,1-i,1,1+i -> L1
clearing code:
Code:
(If it's an empty square, put row+column*i into L1, otherwise make L1 empty)
While dim(L1
L1(dim(L1->X
dim(L1)-1->dim(L1
If not([C](real(X),imag(X
Then
For(I,1,8
X+L3(I
If min(real(Ans),imag(Ans))>1 and max(real(Ans),imag(Ans))<12 and [B](real(Ans),imag(Ans)) and not(max(Ans=L1
Ans->L1(1+dim(L1
End
End
(clear square at real(X),imag(X))
End
I might yet reconsider using complex numbers.
I don't know what to do for the happy/unhappy face. I'm going to have a "popup window" when you win or lose, and maybe I could put one in that.
Edit: Arcane, here's what I've done with your artwork (to fit it into the space I provided for it, and to avoid having to make a custom font). See attachment.

The face is cool. (but annoying when you can't seem to beat Minesweeper)
But you can probably leave it out and nobody would care. |

Essentially you just check all eight squares around each blank one? I've discovered this leads to a lot of overlap if you have a large area of blank squares. I've put some thought into how to avoid this, but I haven't come up with anything reasonable.

| You can make a 10x10 grid of 5x5 squares with lines in between and fit the numbers in there easily. Thats what I did in my basic minesweeper. |

[post="62519"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] I'm checking for overlap, though.
