FALSE:

In Windows, the Minesweeper board is generated randomly before the player clicks any squares.[citation needed] If the player happens to click a mine square on their very first click, the mine at this square is removed and a new mine is placed in the upper left corner. If there is already a mine in the upper left corner (or it was the square that the player clicked), a new mine is placed in the first (starting in the upper left corner then proceeding left->right, top->bottom) available empty spot of the board. Once this change is made, the game proceeds as if the initial clicked square was empty. This is done to ensure that the player will not lose on their very first click

If you replay the same game, you can lose on your first selection.

[–]broken_life 1 point2 points ago

True in the newer version. However that minesweeper is pre-vista thus no replay option.

[–]Zondraxor 22 points23 points ago

This was not true for the old minesweeper as shown in the picture. That has happened to me many times. Not for years, though, because of the new rule there.

[–]SwabTheDeck 14 points15 points ago

The OP posted what looks like the WinXP version. I played that version nearly everyday for years. I never lost on the first click.

[–]Zondraxor 0 points1 point ago

If so, there was a version before that looking like that where you could. I know for certain (as much as anything can be known for certain at all) that I have lost on the first click.

[–]St3rox 1 point2 points ago

I said this on a r/programming post about minesweeper and got -63 karma

[–]I_sometimes_lie 5 points6 points ago

Incorrect, unless you a referring to minesweeper before 3.1.

Interestingly windows 7 redid the code and the windows 7 version can be tricked into letting you mess up on the first click.

[–]nikhil151290 2 points3 points ago

Hang on, Hang on. If you sometimes lie, how can we believe you?

You are correct though. If you restart the game in Windows 7 minesweeper after losing once, and then click on a square that had the mine in the last game, then yes, you can lose the game on the first click.

[–]MertsA 1 point2 points ago

The windows 7 version only does that if you replay the same game though right?

[–]stopmotionporn 2 points3 points ago

I thought that was the joke. That he's having such a shitty day that he shouldnt be able to hit a mine on this first go but he does anyway.

[–]broken_life 0 points1 point ago

That's how I understood it as well. But there is always room to correct people with facts!

[–]The_Hylian 0 points1 point ago

not if you clicked replay or whatever. then its possible to hit a mine on your first click, because it was exactly the same as last game.

[–]General_Shou 20 points21 points ago

He is the actual major of Turin, and former minister of foreign affairs, and even when he wins he has this expression.

True in the newer version. However that minesweeper is pre-vista thus no replay option.

I saw the mouse pointer in the picture and thought it was mine then I wondered why it wasn't moving. Retard moment of the day.
