Honestly looks far more obvious than the original to me.
I like how ai agents make it possible to experiment with different game concepts.
I merged Go with Tetris while brainstorming some ideas.

#25Jumped from medium to insane and didn't notice any difficulty bump. Were the puzzles designed by AI, eg arc agi puzzles are trivial for humans but very difficult for LLMs.

#26Earlier quoted context omitted.
In that sense, this game is similar to Mosaic[1] where the clues are all initially visible, except in Mosaic the count includes all 9 cells since black squares can be placed on the numbers themselves. [1] https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/js/mosa...
Another example is this Steam game which I play occasionally: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3083300/Proverbs/

You will in particular like this game if you are into conspiracy theories. If one switches the difficulty to the hardest one, HN readers might have some fun with this game. :-)

Yeah it's maybe not the best way to describe it, but my intention is all clues already visible at the start rather than exploration, and adding in flowers rather than avoiding mines. The main difference is having all the clues visible at the start changes it to a search and deduction logic style rather than reveal and react
It is the right way to describe it, that guy just doesn't remember how minesweeper worked.

#29I did have to guess. If I'd have known how many mines there were, I wouldn't have though.
edit: I'm wrong. Thanks steve.

The "4" clue forces the solution imho.
