About

Welcome to Dav/Minesweeper, my take on the classic Minesweeper game that was bundled with Windows 95! This project was a great learning experience, and I had a lot of help with the game logic from multiple AI tools.

It all started as a coding challenge at a local tech meetup on 25th January 2025, where I built a terminal-based version of Minesweeper using Node.js and Jest, focusing on writing testable code. You can check out that version here.

Wanting to push myself further, I decided to create a playable UI version. With AI’s help, I set up Webpack and React, but I soon realized that adapting a terminal-based game into an interactive UI was more cumbersome than I expected. Instead of forcing a conversion, I started fresh, prioritizing a fun and engaging user experience.

This UI version is built with React and Tailwind CSS, using Vite for bundling and GitHub for version control. It is deployed on Netlify, making it easily accessible to everyone.

This project has been both a technical and creative challenge, and I hope you enjoy playing it as much as I enjoyed building it! 🚀
