ClayMath, a rich community dedicated to creating algorithms has been given $1 million dollars in funding to create a Minesweeper Bot. They couldn't. Now if you can do it, you get the money.

If you get the money, atleast +rep me :thumbup:

It would basically be a bunch of if statements

Phoenix3000 · 07-29-2008, 09:00 AM

Not really, it would be a "divide and conquer" algorithm. Recursively divide the board into a smaller problem and then solve that one problem, then keep expanding until you're at the size of the board you want to solve.

How do I know this? Because I had to write a program to solve that damn peg game at Cracker Barrel as a final project in one of my classes.

It can be done, but the complicated part of solving minesweeper is that if the mine is in the first block you choose, you've already lost the game.

so it is impossible to win EVERY game because of the nature of the game itself. The first click is completely random. if you get a mine u lose.

Pretty much, and the page says NOTHING about making a bot. The prize is for actually writing an acceptable solution to the game that MUST be published and then ACCEPTED by the mathematic community within two years. Ha.
