    Ah heck yes. Bookmarked. Gotta keep these brain cells alive in this world of AI-induced brain rot.

    Oh yeah, just like the Win95 classic. And I think the original also had a problem with last calls being frequently 50/50

    Cool.

    Unfortunately long press didn't work for me with a trackpad (Safari on macOS), so wasn't able to flag at all. Maybe add a test for ctrl-click or shift-click?

      Long press is for mobile browsers; use right-click on desktop.

        I'm on a laptop with a trackpad — there is no right click. Usually Ctrl-click works as a right-click, but in this case it doesn't.

          Two-finger click works for me (macOS).

          • perilunar a day ago

            oh, yeah, that works. And double three-finger click to clear. Still, ctrl-click should also work.

        Control click would also be a good addition. Otherwise I keep losing!

    Instant wave of nostalgia

    Took me back to playing minesweeper as a kid. I managed to find myself in an end state that could only be resolved with a 50/50 guess. I don't remember if the classic version had this problem, but I think it would be nice to have a guarantee of no ambiguous boards.
