I made a covid-themed minesweeper game

[anjinha]

It's called Coronasweeper!

I made this after I finished a coding bootcamp, while I was job searching. It was a really fun little project.

Hey You!

I nearly won... Well done, mate.
Making something like this is great for job-seeking. It's an easily approachable demonstration that you know how to make things

Yeah, that was my goal. I actually got a job in October and my now manager tried out my coronasweeper game and thought it was pretty fun.

That is brilliant.

Back when I used a mouse, I was rather partial to minesweeper.

And I loved how the numerical warning squares were colour coded re number.

Ohh, I actually wanted to color code the numbers, good reminder. Thanks!

Oh man, the COVID taskforce here should hire me. It seems I'm excellent at sniffing out exactly where it's at. Just like the military should have hired me to find mines back in the days of Minesweeper glory. I seem to find both with just one random, yet possibly on some level intuitive and "well" placed click time and again.

Fun game indeed!

Well, I remember the chill I felt whenever seeing that ominous black square (which denoted seven mines in the immediate surrounding squares), while the pale violet of "eight" mines (a vanishingly rare sight) had the power to inspire terror, until you realised, nah, every square that surrounded you just needed to be clicked. (But, you still gulped...at what might have been).

Nicely done!
