Minesweeper

I coded Minesweeper as a web application using JavaScript, HTML and CSS!

Minesweeper is a single-player puzzle video game. The objective of the game is to clear a rectangular board containing hidden „mines“ or bombs without detonating any of them, with help from clues about the number of neighboring mines in each field. The game originated in the 1960s, and has been included with many operating systems throughout the years. It can also be played online.

Minesweeper Implementation

Using HTML and CSS for the user-interface and JavaScript for the logic behind it, I attempted to recreate one of the most popular computer games amongst multiple generations.

Key Features

My version of the game supports three difficulties, which get progressively harder. The settings menu can be opened by pressing „P“ or „Esc“ and menus can be closed by pressing „Esc“. Additionally, you can change the music and sound volume in the settings menu.

How to cheat JavaScript

If you open up the developer console, you can access a two-dimensional array which holds the position of every mine. So if the game is too difficult, or if you have to take a guess at some point, you may just be able to use the console to your advantage.
