A while ago I realised just how easy minesweeper would be to make, so I've been meaning to make a clone since. Today I got around to it.

It's my first program in Basic4GL in a while, it's kind of nice to be programming in it again, although I had to refresh my memory a bit after spending so much time with ActionScript (which isn't over JUST yet though).

Anyway, both the source and .exe are included. Controls are same as the normal game, Left Click to reveal a tile and Right Click to mark it.

Download here.

EDIT: Uploaded new file, there was a slight bug with the mine placement.

This is very very cool. It's a perfect Minesweeper game. You've beaten me to it :) Sorry it took so long to check it out. — hartnell

Cool… It would be nice if, when you click on a 0, all the neighboring zeros also are removed, like the one in windows :)

How is AS going btw? Are we going to see a game in ActionScript soon? :)

Yeah, I was thinking about that neighbouring-zeroes thing as well, but I couldn't be bothered putting it in at the time. :P I know how to do it though, maybe tomorrow I'll chuck it in.

As for AS, as you may have been able to tell I've been working on something for about the past three months. It should be finished some time in the next few days. :)

Alright, I've now uploaded a new version, this one has what you just mentioned u9. You can now also un-mark squares, I'd forgotten to include that before.

How about making it so that when a bomb explodes they all explode, so that one can see where they were after dieing?

Ok, I've added that in. But I won't upload a new version just yet 'cause I think there may be a bug in the "Mines Left: " counter, I think I've found myself ending up with it saying 0 when there's still one left somehow. This is fairly important 'cause once there's supposedly no mines left you can't place any more flags and so you theoretically can't win the game properly.

EDIT: Alright, uploaded the new version. The Mines Left bug doesn't seem to be appearing, so I'm not sure it's even there. I also fixed a bug with the bomb placement.
