New Demo Game using Gnoga

[David Botton]

Jeff Carter has sent me a copy of his Mine Detector game using Gnoga. I've put it up as a demo at http://gnoga.com:8081

Enjoy!!

Using Safari on a 13" Macbook Pro, the 'Rules' button pops up a modal
dialog box which runs off the bottom of the screen, has no scroll bar,
doesn't respond to the scroll wheel (-equivalent, using two-finger
drag), and has no visible way to dismiss it - time to quit Safari. At
least command-Q works.

He is using an alert box which means that is a Safari bug. Probably he could change that to a page based dialog instead.

Making it wider would help, too.

Iphone 5 Safari has the buttons over the grid.

I will be making some Mobile app examples soon.

Eventually will be able to have full iOS and Android side apps, but for now you can do a PhoneGAP front end to a Gnoga app on a server or just write to the mobile browsers.

MacBook Air, FireFox: dialog was on top of game board until I made the 
window wider.

Clicking on the game cells does not work -- no effect.

Clicking on "New Game" works; at least the marginal cells are redrawn 
with new numbers.

But no game...

Ok, it seems the game is working for everyone actually :)

Jeff's version of mine sweeper you can _only_ click on the white numbered tiles. See the rules.

Happened to me too first time :) I'm used to the old Windows version :)

Ok, it works like that, yes. Apologies for missing that sentence in the 
rules. This sentence should perhaps be moved to more prominent position 
in the rules. But mea culpa.

This isn't Mine Sweeper, it's Mine Detector. It's objectives are to be
completely a logic game (no guessing required) and to model the reality of a
mine field better than Mine Sweeper. Unless you're dropping paratroopers in,
it's unrealistic to step in the middle of a mine field. You work your way in
from the edges, guided by the information you have from your sensor (the numbers
on cells). Stepping on unnumbered cells is guessing, which I've tried to eliminate.
