We’re talking about the cheat code. It only showed whether a field had a mine or not. And if you want to be pedantic 0-fields don’t have a number, they’re just blank.
I was talking about the fact that the first click always is a 0 (or blank) field. So the board can’t be already put before clicking so your cheat didn’t make much sense to me. But I never played on old windows, earliest version was 98 for me so they might have changed that
There was a board before you started playing. But if you clicked on a mine of that board a new one was generated where that field didn’t contain a mine. Thus it’s ensured that the first click would always start the game. That first field could be one of any possible number from blank to 8.
Of course hitting a blank was preferred, but never guaranteed. And an 8 was very rare. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that outside of custom boards.
Are we talking about the same game? You played minesweeper without numbers??
