Minesweeper: Classic Game Redefined by AI
Minesweeper is a classic game that has been redefined by AI. The game is developed by Yi Zeng, and it is available for free on iPhone. The game is designed to exercise your brain and logic reasoning skills with 4 difficulty options.
What sets this game apart is its use of AI technology to improve the classic game. The developer has modeled the game as a Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP) and precomputed the heuristic score for each valid move using multiple state-of-the-art algorithms. This yields a stack rank of 10 (or less) best moves. Based on the heuristic difference between the optimal move and the actual move by the user, the game uses a pre-defined probability (non-uniform distribution) to control the mine position (by ad-hoc switching cells on the board).
At the end of each game, the game further tunes the mine-switching probability using win/lose ratio as an input to ensure a custom-tailored gaming experience that’s challenging but not frustrating. The game also offers fun experiences to unlock and daily rewards to claim. Minesweeper redefined by AI is a game that is both challenging and fun to play.
