Polatrite	And here at 7 PM EST you probably thought I wasn't going to come through! Sure enough, here's our first game - a little remake of Windows Minesweeper! http://www.byond.com/games/Polatrite/Minescraper I think the astute among you might notice something here!

SpikeNeedle	Needs scoreboard and double [left and right mouse same time] clicks. Along with how many mines and flags are left, and a timer.

Polatrite	Wow, double clicks... never seen that before. What's the purpose of it?

Scotty-V	I did notice something, but I'm not sure if it's meant to be like that.

If you middle-click a square, all non-flagged tiles around it are revealed.

So, if you see a "#" tile and you've flagged # bombs adjacent to it, you can safely middle-click that tile and have all other adjacent unknown tiles revealed. It's a time-saver. Of course, it can bite you in the butt if you click the wrong tile or mis-flag something.

Polatrite	Well, nobody noticed yet. :(

DarkCampainger	Heh, I feel like a cheater. Now I have to dig up the pixel cheat for the original mine sweeper (no wonder those guys never got anything done!)

Nesaku	I don't know, Polatrite. Maybe they're not looking hard enough.

Zaole	so is your "game or major update every friday" going to be minesweeper, followed by solitaire, followed by hearts, followed by go fish...? <_< _>
