A demake of the classic minesweeper.
The game cartridge is just 1024 bytes -- see https://gist.github.com/pancelor/a3aadc5e8cdf809cf0a4972ac9598433 for some lightly commented source code
RULES / CONTROLS:
- left click to reveal a tile
- if you hit a mine, you lose
- revealed tiles will show a number, telling how many of their 8 neighbors are mines
- right click to flag a tile
- reveal all non-mine tiles to win!
- click the smiley face to restart
TIPS
- left click + right click (simultaneous) to auto-reveal neighbors, if the number of nearby flags matches the number on the tile you clicked
- mines left and a timer are displayed in the top corners
the difficulty of this version is comparable to expert mode in the original game. I lose most games I play -- it is difficult!
I have to wonder why I keep hitting a mine while random clicking.
Oh well, at least I've win this game once.
@Bloodbane, your odds of surviving your first turn are roughly 4/5. This goes down each time you successfully clear a space. If you stack these odds, the chances of you surviving ten turns are 7%.
I think it's funny that at this difficulty, your odds are better to randomly pick a spot next to a mine than to randomly pick any spot.
