98-034 Student Taught Courses (StuCo): Minesweeper Done Right

3 units, Carnegie Mellon University

The classic video game, minesweeper, is more intricate even though it might deem simple. This course starts from the basic steps of minesweeper gameplay such as rules and patterns. Then in the earlier portion of the course we will focus on improving speed, and the skills in doing so. Then we go deeper into topics such as efficiency and high difficulty, and how they relate to each other along with speed. At the end of the semester, we will have a mini championship game to top it off. Players at any level are welcome, and everyone will learn something, if not a lot.

Prerequisites: none listed
