Another Mine

Intro

Another Mine is a minesweeper "clone" for Mac OS X written in Cocoa. I wrote it because I thought it would be simple enough to do and because I wanted to learn a bit about Objective-C and the Cocoa API, that and I did not like any of the (many) others out there.

Thanks for trying Another Mine.

Notes

09-03-09: Release 0.9.5

• Added Sparkle support to allow for automatic updates.

01-06-08: Release 0.9.4

• Fixed a bug that showed a button being pressed selected twice during the auto-discover chain reaction animation.
• Added a setting in com.WillShex.AnotherMine.plist: "animate". This will allow a user to switch off the chain reaction animation to save time (thanks to Jason Tan). Please note that the setting is set to true by default and there is no way to change it through the application (yet). So, to switch the animation off, you are going to have to get your hands dirty.

16-03-08: Release 0.9.2

• Added image pre-loader to speed up image display.
• Custom challenge now works up to 24 x 30 x 710 mines.
• Ctrl+click for flagging mines instead of just right click (thanks to Samantha Niesen).

06-03-08: Release 0.9.0 (first public)

• 3 levels of difficulty (beginner, intermediate expert).
• Exclude all regions but surrounding ones, using space.
• Auto discover surrounding regions, using single click when all mines have been predicted.

TODO(s)

• Verify compatibility with versions of Mac OS X (currently 10.5+).
• Implement resolution independence for Mac OS X 10.5+.
• Complete hall of fame.
• Create help files with some rules for people struggle with how to play the game, and maybe with some of the app features.
• Fix outstanding bugs.
