Links, repository & detailsAbout
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle genre generally played on personal computers, in which the player clears a grid of tiles without detonating any of the hidden mines scattered across it, guided by numeric clues about neighboring mine counts. Hormuz Minesweeper is a themed take on classic Minesweeper set on a nautical chart of the Strait of Hormuz, where mines only spawn in water tiles. It's a zero-dependency browser game built from a single HTML file, a JavaScript file, and an SVG map, playable directly online with no installation needed, and is released under the MIT license.
How it differs from the original
Unlike generic Minesweeper, mines are restricted to water areas on the Strait of Hormuz-themed map, and the first click is always guaranteed to be safe.
Getting started
It can be played directly in a browser via the project's live site; it supports mouse controls (left-click to reveal, right-click to flag, double-click a revealed number to chord-reveal its neighbors) as well as touch controls on mobile devices (tap to reveal, a flag toggle button, double-tap to chord).
