What is Open MineSweeper?

Open MineSweeper is an open-source, cross-platform recreation of the classic Minesweeper game that was included with older versions of Windows. It aims to provide a free alternative to the original game with support across operating systems.

The gameplay mechanics are very similar to the original Minesweeper - the user clicks on squares to reveal either a mine or a number indicating how many mines lay in the 8 surrounding squares. By using logic and deduction, all non-mine squares must be cleared to win. Open MineSweeper generates randomized minefields and features 3 difficulty levels just like the original.

In addition to faithfully recreating the gameplay, Open MineSweeper offers several enhancements over the classic version. Custom themes allow changing the look and feel of the game board and pieces. Features like a best times leaderboard, undo capability, and manual mine placement option provide a richer experience.

With its open-source license, cross-platform support across Windows, Mac, Linux, Android and more, and classic engaging gameplay, Open MineSweeper makes for a free, modern revival of one of the most popular Windows games of the past.
