Why I built this

Minesweeper is the game that taught me about flood-fill algorithms when I was 12. Rebuilding it was nostalgic — and surprisingly tricky to get right. The first click must always be safe (you regenerate the board if it hits a mine), chord-clicking on numbers should auto-reveal neighbors, and the cursor-based keyboard navigation had to feel as natural as mouse clicks. It's the only game where the arcade preset's lives system maps to a single life.
