Nice, finally some games in Mozart. Do you have the source available?
I'm interested to see how you used QTk and when start talking of lines
of
code, I want to see them.

I got the impression that the rules lacked something. There where
occasions
where the auto-player stopped, but I could continue.

An interesting problem would be to place the mines such that the "sweep"
is
always possible. The most annoying thing is when you're almost done with
a
large map just to find a corner where the information is too scarce. You
end up
guessing instead of solving.
