GOT IT

THE WAY TO GET IT

hcsoso is my classmate...after I gave him quite a few hints () he just worked it out! Great
As well he agreed that I edit his posts to make the attachment shown in the posts

Nice Jooooob

Choli: Fixed in next version

Does anyone else like or dislike the new skin?

not "quite a few"...^^"
almost all....

Lobster: Could you use math equations to explain your post?

http://shoutbox.menthix.net/showthread.php?tid=20...d=189580#pid189580

In your post I at least know standard deviation...anyway just post your equations and I'll try to work it out

Thanks

If you don't want to..it's ok too

Colorful = better, however why don't you just do it like the MSN one?

OK, the way I'll do this is to do the equations php-style, which afaik is almost if not completely identical to c...

Supposing you had a class array named $combination which had a number of different properties.  Each item in the array represents a possible combination in which the current visible squares are all satisfied (e.g. every 2 has two mines next to it)

foreach($combination as $i=>$value){

$combination[$i]->squaresinvolved = $combination[$i]->knownemptysquares + $combination[$i]->knownmines ;

$combination[$i]->deviation = ($combination[$i]->squaresinvolved / $combination[$i]->knownmines)-(256/51) ;

$totaldev += sqrt($combination[$i]->deviation ^ 2);

}

$standarddev = $totaldev / count($combination) ;

foreach($combination as $i=>$value){

$combination[$i]->standardisedscore = $combination[$i]->deviation / $standarddev ;

}

Now each combination has a standardised score which represents the number of standard deviations from the average and ideal situation.  The closer to 0 this value is, the more likely the combination is.  To make the closeness to zero a positive thing, I think at this point it needs to be depolarised and reciprocated.  Then the reciprocal can be found as a fraction of the total and it's that fraction that is the direct probability of each combination.

foreach($combination as $i=>$value){

$combination[$i]->standardisedscore = 1/(sqrt($combination[$i]->standardisedscore ^ 2)) ;
$totalreciprocalstandardisedscore += $combination[$i]->standardisedscore ;

}

foreach($combination as $i=>$value){

$combination[$i]->probability = $combination[$i]->standardisedscore/$totalreciprocalstandardisedscore ;

}

Now we have to apply the combination's probability to each square to see which one it affects the most. Let's take every square that [o] might want to click on (i.e. every one that is adjacent to the existing cluster of uncovered squares) and throw them into some sort of array.  And let's suppose each of these squares has a property called "influences" which is an array of probabilities that have effect on that square.  For example, if it's adjacent to a 1 with 4 free spaces next to it, an array item would be added with a value of 0.25.  The number of items in the array would depend on the number of opened squares.  For each of these probabilities you multiply it by the combination's probability, and then at the end take the average of these probabilities.  For each combination, the average probability is added to get a perfect (i think) probability:

foreach($combination as $i=>$value){

foreach($possiblesquare as $j=>$value1){

foreach($possiblesquare[$j]->influences as $k=>$value2){

$possiblesquare[$j]->influences[$k] = $possiblesquare[$j]->influences[$k] * $combination[$i]->probability ;

}

$possiblesquare[$j]->probability[$i] = sum($possiblesquare[$j]->influences) / count($possiblesquare[$j]->influences);

}

}

foreach($possiblesquare as $i=>$value){

$possiblesquare[$i]->overallprobability = sum($possiblesquare[$i]->probability);

}




And if I'm right, that's the way the cookie crumbles

I've used their sounds...if I use their pictures now I'm gonna end up sued
joke...I actually don't like the color theme of the zone game Maybe you prefer it to the style in MineSwee++, but it's up to the programmer


Lobster: Thanks, I'll look into it soon. I know PHP as well, had studied it before

why don't you add an option to change the color theme?

btw, could you make an option to turn off the sounds? last night I was listening to some music at a very low volume (it was 1 am) and if I played MineSwee++ the sounds didn't let me hear the music

Good idea but...a bit useless j/k

Added in next version, I should upload it in a few hours (Haven't done the matters about Lobster's good comments)
