Ambiguous cases may prevent board completion

spectrachrome opened this issue · comments

The marked three cells seen in the following image present an ambiguous case which may prevent the player from successfully uncovering all of the board's cells due to ambiguity. From the three 1 cells alone, logically, there is no way to infer where the mine is placed.

How do we prevent this while still being true to the original GeoTIFF data?

Or do we not solve it and accept the fact that users will have to lose once or twice if ambiguous cases are present in the board configuration? Can we modify the difficulty parameter and/or the data to prevent hollow structures?

Lots of possibilities here!

Will just require multiple tries for now.
