It seems even "Massively" Multiplayer Online games can't survive the HN effect. :)

Indeed. The creator should add a "donate to the creator" button when receiving maximum user limit message. We could help him quit his job so he could work on this full time.

Unfortunately, I tried to donate, but the creator is in the Ukraine, and Paypal has blocked incoming payments there. There's some pretty nasty implications there that are probably worth discussion in another thread.

I love it when people put a modern twist on a ubiquitous game like this. I'm reminded of http://bombermine.com (no longer up?), a massively multiplayer Bomberman clone. Personally, I've tried to modernize Solitare with http://solitaire.gg , but haven't figured out a way to make it massively multiplayer yet...

Multiplayer solitaire (analog version): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJoOom3f5mU This was my favorite card game to play with my family as a kid.

For those interested this type of multiplayer "solitaire" is commonly known as pounce or nertz.

Well I for one am glad it was posted again because I missed it three years ago. Also I am pretty sure there are quite a few new members to HN in the last 3 years.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

No it looks like it's all score based so you get points for correctly flagging mines and lose for incorrect flags and hitting bombs.

Also, the number of exploded mines and incorrectly flagged squares go on your permanent record (if you create a profile).

Good point I was at work so I couldn't get to the login email and find out what that gives/changes.

I can't tell if I'm far above average in minesweeper, or if most people are bad. My best expert score is 72, and i average in 90-110 somewhere. Watching other people play... they go quite slow.

Do most people play minesweeper very casually? I always find it as an adrenaline filled rush to get to the end.
