Yeah you definitely need an AI for this

"Perfect"

Well, how does it chose it's first move?

Almost anything can qualify as AI, it just needs to seem a little bit “intelligent”, so pacman’s ghost can be considered as having AI.

@AlgoRythm It chooses "perfectly" of course! 🙄

@AlgoRythm if you watch the video, it explains that it is random for the first few moves then it uses statistical probability to figure out where everything is. Its actually quite satisfying and cool to watch and I highly recommended it. :)

@c3ypt1c Why is statistical probability not simply called... statistical probability? As someone recently said: machine learning is glorified regression.

@freakko becauss its still technically the best possible ai you can make.

@c3ypt1c If I were them, I would be careful with the word "perfect" - it, more times than not, will make you look stupid.

@c3ypt1c@-vim- by that logic I've been writing AI for all these years without even realising it. Damn it. Missed opportunities with my binary search AI.

@MrJimmy The video can explain it a lot better than me (haven't watched it in weeks) but long story short, he chooses the squares least likely to blow up and uses probability over logic as you cannot implement every case minesweeper might throw at you with logic, but with probability, you can just kinda work out where the bombs are i guess. O.o

@MrJimmy @c3ypt1c he uses probability logic
