Minor update for Minesweeper Plus!


Hello, everyone. Thank you for choosing Minesweeper Plus as your minesweeping game of choice. This v1.1 update for Minesweeper Plus was implemented as a response to some players feedback of their experiences with the original version and aims to fix its shortcomings.

Updates:

A new difficulty for Minesweeper Adventure

Many MS+ players believed the Beginning Sweeper difficulty for adventure mode was too difficult, and after much review, I came to the conclusion that they were right. Now there are four modes of difficulty. The old Beginning Sweeper difficulty is now the new Novice difficulty, and the new Beginning Sweeper difficulty is even easier than that.

A new practice setting in Free Play

Want to practice minesweeping without the fear of losing? Turn on the practice setting in Free Play to enable a Minesweeper level in Practice mode! Mines do no damage and the sonar is free to use, however no Minecoins will be earned upon clearing a level. Take advantage of it if you want!

Boss battle balancing

Yeah, perhaps I made the impossible boss a little too impossible. Many players wanted more time for the boss battle, so I adjusted the number of seconds you get per difficulty.  Beginner: 199s. Novice: 179s. Veteran: 149s. Expert: 119s. Also, continue costs for the boss battle have been decreased. If you still want the restrictive time limit as an option, playing in master mode will still only give you 99s for the boss, and continue costs will be the same.

Other improvements

Your adventure records will now show you the highest level you were able to clear if you get a game over.

Clicking on a number now outlines all unflagged spaces around that number. 

Improved the saving algorithm. Also, if you want to keep your data from the previous version, simply copy and paste your save file from the old folder to the new folder. It should work. I tested it.

Bug fixes

Fixed a bug where the total time elapsed statistic did not properly keep track of time when losing a level or exiting from a level early. 

Fixed a bug where clicking on the exit button in the pause menu multiple times can cause the game to crash.

And that's it for this update. I want to make the next update for this game big, so it might be a while before you see it. Until then, I hope you keep enjoying Minesweeper Plus, but more importantly, I hope you keep playing the games you love, Minesweeper or otherwise.

convert it in some way
uh, this does not work as intended
i assume it's shifting over by 1 something it's not supposed to shift over by 1
also, beginner sweeper data isn't moved to novice sweeper
(the time is used as the rank, showing M, and the rank is used as the time, showing 4 sec)
for some reason it wont let me send the comment with the pic so i gotta figure out how to send it figured it out

ok this REALLY isnt right. if i had to guess, the games started in master mode is what used to be my minecoins, and coins spent on sonar and adventures started are adventure data, it might genuinely just be shifted over some idk

Hello, gogohugoaj. I'm sorry this happened to you. The person who wrote the comment below yours actually had the exact same problem. I think it's weird that this is happening, because I thought I fixed my code to make sure this bug didn't happen. I made sure save transfers worked on two separate games on two separate computers. Granted, I didn't test every case, but then where does the problem lie? 

Just out of curiosity, what operating system are you running the game on? It probably has nothing to do with the problem, but I just want to make sure that's not the reason.

windows 10

Okay, thank you. I'm on Windows 11, so OS must have nothing to do with the problem. I'll keep trying to find the error.

Hey great update, but copying the save file didn't work, suddenly i had odd rankings and timings including having Rank M (?), and i couldn't start any adventure. Also when attempting to start a Match in Free Play the game just crashed. Resetting the save file works and is not that big of deal but i wanted to point that out

I’m so sorry to hear that. That glitch happened to me when I was testing the game with my old save file, but I was able to fix it for my file. I wonder why it didn’t work with your save file? I’ll take a look at the code later and see if I can find any problems.
