That's why I'm about to share couple tricks that you might not know: <ol> <li>There is no way to blow up the first cell. The map is generated after you first click. </li> <li> If you put equal count flags near number and tap on it, the others cells around it except marked one will be opened. <img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-r63M74HnDE/S5DzWT5u-2I/AAAAAAAAE0o/dhVCzn-uIUE/s320/image001.png" border="0" /> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_-r63M74HnDE/S5DzYCzFuAI/AAAAAAAAE0w/K7vRGTcnvkg/s320/image002.png" border="0" /> </li> <li> Check the "Count Down" option in main menu to see how much time you have to get to the first place. <img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-r63M74HnDE/S5DzZMv3g4I/AAAAAAAAE04/fvsToBFHEOc/s320/image003.png" border="0" /> </li> <li> If you still can't take a first place, you may just clear the scores :) <img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_-r63M74HnDE/S5Dzab5aHcI/AAAAAAAAE1A/Om55am27W0Q/s320/image004.png" border="0" /> </li> </ol><p> Have fun with with aiMinesweeper.</p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/2232277026069954924-4054511387962543352?l=aiminesweeper.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Bosslyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03611377287289850158noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2232277026069954924.post-67978540052767354302010-03-04T18:16:00.003+02:002010-03-10T18:19:27.856+02:00Hi everyone!<p> I'm glad to inform that we've got more than 380K downloads.
