This project started as building a simple minesweeper clone for a job interview, but the nostalgia swept over me hard and inspired me to do something a little more ambitious. My goal is to build as faithful of a recreation of Windows 95 in the browser as I can.
It assumes you have the latest node and yarn installed.
yarn install
yarn dev
open http://localhost:3000
yarn test or yarn test:debugger to attach a debugger session
- Player can left click to reveal square.
- Player can right click to flag square as mine.
- The number tells how many mines are in the immediate neighborhood.
- The goal is to reveal or flag all squares without revealing a mine.
This thing is fun to build, so the project will grow to encompass more and more of the ✨Windows 95 experience✨.
Expect things like:
- A LocalStorage "file system."
- Functioning application menus.
- A Task manager to launch and keep track of running applications in the taskbar.
- Proper window management (moving, minimizing, maximizing, closing, focus control.)
- More applications. (Notepad.exe! Explorer.exe! MSPaint??)
- Easter eggs (BSOD error boundary, Clippy, maybe the SkiFree Yeti will eat you)
