Replica of the classic Microsoft original game written in Java
Minesweeper is game originally developed my Microsoft. The objective of the game is to find the empty squares while avoiding the mines. The faster you clear the board, the better your score. The rules in Minesweeper are simple: Uncover a mine and the game ends, uncover an empty square and you keep playing, uncover a number and it tells you how many mines lay hidden in the eight surrounding squares - information you use to deduce which nearby squares are safe to click. Right click to flag a potential mine or set a question mark. Press the smiley to reset.
