An open source, free minesweeper game for Windows, featuring basic gameplay with three difficulty levels
miniSweeper is an ad-free, open source minesweeper game for Windows. Developed by Anatoliy Kuznetsov, miniSweeper provides a lightweight and easy-to-use minesweeper gaming experience.
Like traditional minesweeper, the objective of miniSweeper is to clear a grid-based board containing hidden mines without detonating any of them. The game generates boards of varying difficulty levels - beginner (8x8 board with 10 mines), intermediate (16x16 board with 40 mines), and expert (30x16 board with 99 mines).
The simple graphical interface allows players to left-click on squares to reveal them, right-click to mark potential mines, and easily keep track of the number of mines remaining based on visual cues. The program provides basic functions like a restart button, timer, and counter of the number of moves.
As an open source project under the MIT license, miniSweeper's code is free for anyone to view, modify, or enhance as they want. The compact size and lack of ads makes it a good alternative to popular online minesweeper games for those looking for a quick, offline gaming option.
