Re: Mine Detector Game

Thanks, I enjoyed it (maybe too long as for the first time :-)).
Especially, when I read, that it never requires guessing, 
I started to play with engagement (some years ago when I was
in high school, there was many losses because the player had to
guess). But finally I came to this situation:
    _____________________
... | 2 | M |<3>| 1 | 0 |
    ---------------------
... | 3 | M |<6>| 3 | 1 |
    ---------------------
... | 3 | M | M | M | 1 |
    ---------------------
... | 2 | M | 4 | 3 | 2 |
    ---------------------
.....               | M |


... - not important 
_____
| M | - cell with marked mine
-----
_____
| 2 | - opened cell
-----
_____
|<3>| - covered cell
-----

Maybe it is too late and I am missing something, but it looks like, 
I have to guess. Does this non-guessing feature means that I do not
have to guess on the beginning of the game (that there should always
be covered cell with <0> on the edge)? Right now the only idea of 
alghoritm eliminating totally guessing has too high computational
complexity, but maybe it is possible to use some heurestics.

I found that, Auto Mark function sometimes marks incorrect fields.
I'm too sleepy now to analize when, I know only tha it happens.

Anyway, thanks for providing some nice relax.
