未使用的图像

一个用以显示空位的数字...但计数器始终会显示数字并包含前导零，因此这个空位从未被使用。

源代码的趣闻

In 2004, a large portion of the Windows NT 4.0 and Windows 2000 source code was leaked. Despite most of them not being in NT 4.0, the source code for several Microsoft Entertainment Pack games were included as well. These oddities are also present in Rattler Race and TicTactics.

Revisional Differences

To do: Is there any differences between the original Entertainment Pack release and the 3.1-bundled version?

There have been several changes to Minesweeper since its introduction in the Windows Entertainment Pack.

Graphics

Icons

Windows 3.1/NT4/2000/WEP	Windows 95/98/ME	Windows XP

The game's 32×32 icon was changed for Windows 95, but was reverted (along with the rest of the changed graphics) for Windows 2000...only to change again in Windows XP.

Windows 3.1/NT4/2000/WEP	Windows 95/98/ME	Windows XP

Minesweeper originally didn't have a unique 16×16 icon. The Windows 95 version added one, which was removed in the Windows 2000 version and added again in the XP version.

It is worth noting that the 16-color icon variant still actually exist in Windows XP version, as a low color depth fallback.

Tiles

Windows 3.1/NT4/2000/XP/WEP	Windows 95/98/ME

The shading of the tiles was changed in Windows 95: the flag was made more square, the question mark became blue and was made thicker, the mines were shrunk, the mine was removed from under the X, the color of the 7 and 8 tiles were changed, and the numbers were made thinner for Windows 95.

All of this was reverted for the Windows 2000 release.

Other

• The Windows 95 version removed the menu options Contents, Search for Help on... and How to Use Help and added the menu option Help Topics. This was reverted in the Windows 2000 release.
• The Windows 2000 version had 5 non-graphical changes:
  • The beginner grid size was increased from 8×8 to 9×9.
  • The Timer Jump bug was fixed. In previous versions of the game, the system clock was used as a makeshift timer, which caused the first second to "jump" when the game is started at the middle or near the end of a second. In Windows 2000, a separate timer is used.
  • The Moving Window bug was fixed. Every time the difficulty of the game was changed, the window moved one pixel upwards, which made it possible for the window to leave the screen altogether. This does not occur in the Windows 2000 version.
  • Winmine.ini was removed. Instead, the game stored high scores and other data in the registry.
  • The Sound option was added to the game menu due to the nonexistence of Winmine.ini.
• Versions that do not have a sound option in the menu require the addition Sound=3 (it must be 3 or higher) and Tick=1 in winmine.ini to enable them. Also, sounds differ between versions. For example, the Windows 3.1 and XP versions have full (but different) sounds, whereas the Windows 98 version just has a faint ticking sound (and requires Sound to be enabled).

Regional Differences

In 1999, Sergio Chiodo of Italy set up the International Campaign to Ban Winmine, complaining that Minesweeper was offensive to minefield victims and suggesting the mines be changed to flowers. Microsoft took this suggestion and implemented it into the Italian versions bundled with Windows 2000, ME, and XP, renaming the game to Prato fiorito ("Flower Field"). The explosion sound is changed into a melody previously used in the Windows 98 Leonardo Da Vinci desktop theme.

Minesweeper (Windows ME)	Prato fiorito (Windows ME/2000)	Minesweeper (Windows XP)	Prato fiorito (Windows XP)

Minesweeper (Windows ME)	Prato fiorito (Windows ME)	Minesweeper (Windows XP)	Prato fiorito (Windows XP)

For some reason, the 16×16 Prato Fiorito green unique icon that was in Windows ME, was removed in Windows 2000.

Minesweeper	Prato fiorito (Windows ME/2000)	Prato fiorito (Windows XP)

Hidden Hide Menu Option

Adding Menu=1 to winmine.ini gets rid of the menu (in the Windows 3.1 and 98 versions at least).
