Hii guys! So, I have a new idea for a new boss! Here are his stats:

Instead of regular Arabic numerals, I'll use Roman numerals! So, if the game runs out of Arabic numerals at 10, we'll start a new order of numbers, this time using Roman numerals.

The boss will be called "I", or "Roman One". He doesn't do anything in Minesweeper itself, but he does on the screen. Have you seen the "Touhou gameplay" on YouTube? That's exactly how the boss works! He'll throw those dots (like in the video) in different directions, and if we touch them five times, the player dies. At first, he just stands there, but if we've cleared half the area, he'll start moving — not slowly, not quickly, just.. in middle!

I think you all get it. I didn't come up with a design; I'm too lazy.

Thanks for reading this post! Maybe the developer himself will read this post. That would be cool.

can confirm that roman numerals would be cool and also annoying as heck 👍

would've been cool if he also made the numbers on the squares also roman numerals :(


I'd kill for a version of Nine where tiles are roman numerals (not saying your idea is similar to Nine)... but I can just code that right now

i disagree with this

this is a REALLY GREAT IDEA

nah i will say this roman numerals are annoying as heck HOW DO YOU TELL THE TIME IF THERE ON A CLOCK AWSER YOU CAN'T

(1 edit)

im saying about number on the boss, not ALL numbers on this game

the answer depends on the type of clock, digital or analogue


for analogue clocks, their time is indicated by the minute hand (longer hand), hour hand (smallest hand), the numbers (and ticks) on the outer edge of the clock, and sometimes a second hand (typically coloured differently or extremely thin).

the hour is displayed just by the last number that the hour hand touched, seen in the image.

the minute (and by extension, the second, but let's focus on the minute) is displayed with both the hand and some math. The last number the hand touched is multiplied by 5, then focus on the smaller ticks, which act as individual minutes, meaning you can add up the ticks that the hand has passed AFTER the last number it touched.

And then once you have your hours and minutes (and seconds, depending on the clock), you now have your time. The time on the clock is 10:10:35.

for digital clocks... they literally just show the time for you.

I hope this short read helped you understand how to read analogue clocks better:
