(154.000%) Minesweeper Arbiter | Intermediate Efficiency Attack | 1 Wasted Click from a new PB
10Recorded live right after an Archipelago multiworld game I participated in. Oh what could have been...160%+ with H.Zini tie if I risked it all on this sudden turn of events.
This video apparently hit the algorithm. I did not advertise this video anywhere but within the Minesweeper Online discord server, but thank you so much. For the unfamiliar casual people, here's some information about what I'm doing here.
Background music? I played some Keygen chiptunes through a music program called AIMP which is connected to internet radio site "keygen (dot) fm" - This genre of music comprises of chiptunes composed mostly for use in Keygen and program crack installers/applications. Youtube detected a bit of copyright with the tune that was playing at the time of live-recording this minesweeper score, but that's alright. I don't need the money.
What is efficiency? Take the 3BV value (77), divide by total clicks (in this case, 49 + 1 wasted). 77/50 = 1.54. As a percentage, multiply by 100. Going above 100% efficiency is possible by playing several moves ahead and chording as effectively as is reasonable.
What is chording? Clicking on a number with an equal number of flags appropriately surrounding it will open all tiles in a 3x3 radius around that number.
Wasted Click: Clicks which fail to open a single cell on the board, AKA no change to the playfield. Examples include clicking already opened tiles or placed flags.
Greedy ZiNi and Human ZiNi: 2 popular algorithms Minesweeper Online and MS_Arbiter utilize to measure how many clicks a board is expected for a player efficiently flagging numbers to complete the board, with varying assumptions of UPK (Unfair Prior Knowledge), and playing close to it can depend on your pathing to complete the board. It is possible to play better than the algorithms, and achieve what is called Sub-ZiNi.
Why am I playing on a PC clone called "Arbiter" and not the Minesweeper Online website? For the statistics tracking and CSV database logging which I can import into a spreadsheet program (Such as Libreoffice Calc) and parse/calculate my own table of stats. I have an account on MSO but haven't used it in over 2 years. You can find my stuff here: https://minesweeper.online/player/5802525
