Auto win on first click with low number of black holes #433

Closed GifCo closed 5 years ago

If you reduce the number of black holes you can automatically win on the first (clear) click. Will not happen 100% of the time but the lower the number of black holes the rate of auto win increases. Setting black holes to 1 will auto win almost 80% of the time on first click.

Depending on board size you can set a higher amount of black holes and experience the same behavior. On a large/hard board ive gotten approximate a 75% auto win on first click with up to 6 black holes.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Create medium game from main menu
  2. Set black holes to 2
  3. Click in the middle of the board
  4. If you dont auto win on first click, lose game or win game, restart, and click again.

If you configure the game to have a high chance of winning in one move you end up with a high chance of winning in one move.

If this is not the kind of configuration you want, don't manually configure the game in this way. 😀

Fwiw, Windows minesweeper behaves the same way.

Hahaha I thought you still had to mark all the "mines" to win? My bad!
