There should also be a possibility to mark squares that are known to contain mines.
Updated in v0.2... But seems like i've got problem updating the widget... Will look through that by tomorrow [edit] Works fine now
Works fine but I don't understand the game. No high scores?
Dissapointing windowdesign. Need more features to justify existance At this moment theres fewer than in any other i've seen.
.......and when I have not mouse wheel on my notebook?!!
Buggy and not intuitive. - How can we know the WHEEL is used for marking mines? Wheel is used for other things, makes no sense to use it. However, if we cannot use right or middle buttons, maybe wheel is the only option. anyway, must add a help telling the user to use it. - Using wheel will toggle between mine, question mark and blank, even on open cells or after the game is over.
I do agree with you that the use of the wheel mouse is not the best option for marking mines, it was just meant to show Opera's recent support for mousewheel events. I'm working on a new design which will comme with a new game (might have to wait some time though), i'll correct reported bugs and try to add more intuitive behaviour.
Alerts are not allowed in widgets, so players never see the text "You won!" or "You lose!" However, it's good idea to use mouse wheel when right and middle mouse buttons are inaccessible. For those who haven't wheel, it's possible to use double click. Why widget is not resized when user sets big game field. I set 20x20 and cannot see whole game field, over and above, it scrolls when moving mouse wheel. Waiting for next version... Tip: allways test your widgets as widget in Opera, not only as normal web page (usually many bugs are discovered).
