Abstract
·Motivate the students for the study of Constraint Processing (CP). Minesweeper is perfect to this end because it allows us to illustrate the use of CP algorithms in a familiar context and show how they operate.
·Understand and demystify humans’ fascination with puzzles.
·Discourage graduate students from losing too much time playing the game by making a program that plays the game for them.
