MineSweeper Upgraded
Why did I make this?
Class Research Project, CS 199: AI for Designers - Victor Cecci
I love Minesweeper, it’s a great logic game, and I use it as a break from schoolwork when I feel overwhelmed.
However, there are some things that I don’t like about Minesweeper:
Impossible Scenarios - Most Minesweeper players know that there are some configurations that are theoretically impossible to solve
Poor UI/UX - Some Minesweeper programs just look ugly, and some make you click your scroll button to place a flag or clear a solved square. This is unnecessary, given how simple Minesweeper is and makes life difficult for poor mouse pad procrastinators.
So, for my AI programming class research project, I decided to make an AI that could help you solve Minesweeper. To do this, I had to make my own Minesweeper copy, in Unity, from scratch. This project included a randomly generated map, Minesweepers gameplay requirements, and additional quality-of-life improvements.
How did I make this?
As a part of my project, I made a video that went over my entire process.
