This will ensure that the game cannot be lost at the end by a 50/50 guess. Either the player uncovers all non-mined cells, or the player has flagged all cells containing mines. Flagged winĬompared to certain versions of Minesweeper, this edition will check if the player wins in two different ways. This allows the game to be played at a faster pace since it doesn't require the player to click every single cell. If a player clicks on an uncovered cell containing a number between 1-9 it will open all of the adjacent cells if the adjacent cells have the same number of flags as the cell clicked. If this mode is enabled the board can be scrolled left or right using two fingers. There is also a phone mode on smaller devices that will facilitate if the cells are rendered too small. The flag can be removed by simply tapping the same cell again. If the player holds down a cell for a bit longer instead of simply tapping it a flag will be placed instead. The game is responsive and provides an alternative way to place flags on a mobile device. To run the database open a second terminal: npm start env file in the root directory and insert MONGO_DB= followed by your connection string. Installation npm installįor the backend you will need a MongoDB Atlas account. Flagging all the mined cells is not required. To win the game, players must uncover all non-mine cells, at which point, the timer is stopped. If the first click is a left-click it will never be a mine in any game. Flagged cells are still considered covered, and a player can click on them to uncover them, although they must first be unflagged with an additional right-click. Right-clicking on a cell will flag it, causing a flag to appear on it. Otherwise, the uncovered cells displays either a number, indicating the quantity of mines diagonally and/or adjacent to it, or a blank tile, and all adjacent non-mined cells will automatically be uncovered. If a player uncovers a mined cell, the game ends, as there is only 1 life per game.

A player left-clicks a cell to uncover it.
