Now i'm thinking a two-stage game would be better. thats fine, but you have to risk hitting mines.

^^ (not my mine code) - see there near the 'end' the snake-thing crosses yet-to-be-uncovered squares. the something can go anywhere on the board, but no garuntees its safe - unless you have found the mines and can direct the something around them.) if you take the something over area you have not uncovered (i.e. Too complicated? - you do lose if you 'dig' on a mine. the 'something' could travel on uncovered squares, but will blow up on the mines if it hits them. when you find the trail to the end square, you guide it there careful not to hit mines. you'd continue to uncover mines while the 'something' is safely aimed somewhere. enter the 'something' which you must direct, a. So, you sweep as fast as you can to uncover area. the complications are that the uncovered mine field is covering the trail, and the 'something' can't hit itself (snake).

your objective is to guide it to the end square (maze). Pipe dream comes when a 'something' (could be a liquid, snake, tron cycle, w/e) enters the field from the start square. a definite path (or paths) to and from the squares (hidden under the squares of course) The 'board' is a traditional mine field with the following additions:Дў. at first i thought i'd make a minesweeper clone, then had this idea which seems to combine elements of minesweeper, pipe dream, snake, and maybe some maze action. thought i might try a game for the next round. Ive been learning python, and ive more or less finished my latest project.
