Ive discovered that minesweeper is a great game to test remote viewing

[Apollo]

I agree that minesweeper could be used for that purpose, but you could also be looking at the numbers and semi-subconsciously determining the actual value of each square.  While it is a good example of a remote viewing game, a better one would be a game that has "mine" and "no mine" instead of numbers telling you where the mines are.


Also, ever since I found that minesweeper has a cheat code, I can never again play it for real :-P.

Does not work on Vista, for those who might want to try.

You know, it doesn't sound that hard to take minefield and change it so that each block has the word "mine" or "no mine".  I mean, you could make each block bigger, and then do it that way.  Then again, the mechanics behind it sound kind of hard, since I have no idea how to program.

It is only a cheat for Windows XP.



And this was one of my ideas for a game on SPv2.0

Darn, Apollo beat me to it.  I guess great minds think alike.

As for the minesweeper without the numbers, I could work up something nice as a downloadable executable for both Linux and Windows, if anybody's interested. Also, I could make games for other kinds of things, given an idea

You know, I'm going to get started on it right now, I haven't programmed anything serious in too long

I suck at minesweeper. I bet if I took a test for psionics, it would prove that I am psionic, because I would get all the answers wrong for a comparatively long time.

Maybe it would show that you subconscious is using its psionic abilities to spite you by choosing the wrong tiles.
