Re: Mines hint time penalty

["Vest V." <vest 84 gmail com>]

Hello Michael,

What do you think about adding seconds in a pseudo-exponential way? E.g. start from 10 seconds, then add 15, then 20, and maybe maximum - 40-60 seconds per hint.

Or, maybe create a simple _expression_ that measures the time based on the cells number being left.

Kind regards,
Vest

Currently if you click the Hint button in Mines, you take a 10s time
penalty.

That seems low to me; I think 20s or 30s would be more appropriate. The
goal would be to incentivize using the button only when you really do
not see any safe spots around.

I'm looking for opinions from people more familiar with Mines.
