Minesweeper

Description

This is a little mineweeper game, homemade by me. This project is currently a work in progress, so expect changes to come.

Site

If you want to play it, it's currently live on this site. Please check it out.

minesweeper's Issues

Width of settings items

Width of settings items is sometimes higher than the width of the container, even though they're supposed to be the same size, minus some padding

Remove the line

Remove the line which occurs on certain screensizes, this is probably the result of some rounding somewhere when setting the location of tiles.

Global Leaderboard

• Add global leaderboard (The current one is only local)
• Add some sort of account system so that you can't take someone else's name

Either my aim is bad or the eventhandler for right mouse click is lagging a bit, making the flags get placed on different tiles than intended

Image recentering

The image in the middle of the retry button isn't centered

Animations

When playing on phone, it's kind of hard to see when a flag has been placed. And if you miss the timing, you ignite the bomb.

• Placing a flag
• Deleting a flag
• Uncovering a tile
• Uncovering a bomb?

The flag

The image of the flag doesn't scale properly on smaller screen sizes.

Remove diagonals connecting to an empty tile

When clearing a large opening of empty tiles, the program currently only reveals the tiles to the sides, not on the diagonals. Since these have a nil chance to be bombs, we can make it so that these too get revealed.

Leaderboard isn't shown when loading the game for the first time on phone

The leaderboard shows the "Easy" leaderboard, but the section with scores is just blank. The game is also set to "Medium" difficulty even though that isn't reflected in the leaderboard. The title also doesnt seem to know if it's the local or global leaderboard.

It's possible this is just something with the development environment.

No insta-death

When trying to start a new game, there's always a risk that you won't be able to, since the tile you clicked on contains a bomb. A way to get around this issue would be to create the board only after the player clicked on the first tile, and making it so that tile has 0 bombs around it.

Doing it this way would make it so that the player has atleast a chance to start every round.

Make game-over alert bigger for better readability

Weird score submission

Scores which were set in the custom mode somehow made their way to the medium leaderboard

Only on the local leaderboard, though that may be because the global leaderboard was unavailable at the time. The weird thing is that I know that I set more than those two scores, but they aren't on the leaderboard. Also, the scores were set on a different, smaller, size compared to medium

Input issue

If you press the mouse, move to another tile and then release the mouse. No input happens.

UI updates

• Add a clock for the player to see how long they've taken so far to complete the board.
• Add a leaderboard, though this would need a outside connection to be able to save. Maybe a local top 10 will have to do for now. A good place to display this leaderboard would be on the game-over menu.
• Add a way to see how many bombs/mines are left. This could be a huge help if you have an ending where it isn't clear which tiles are mines.
• Change the color of the clock based on if you're faster than your top x scores. Faster than 1st will net a golden clock, faster than 2nd will change the color to silver, and so on.

Custom difficulty

The custom difficulty isn't able to be set from within the application. Add this to the settings menu and a way for the player so see the dimensions of the board / the amount of bombs.

Ability to see the board after failing

Make the game-over-alert double in size

leaderboard-index and leaderboard-time have: { display: grid; align-contents: center; }

Time

When starting a new game, the clock doesn't get reset until the first tile is clicked

If you spam the "change leaderboard" button (When cache is invalidated), it can cause the leaderboard to gain an incorrect height and extend out of the box it's supposed to be within.

Show date when score was set

Time is NaN:NaN:NaN when loading the site for the first time

Submits score with Null time on site load

Phone support

right click = oncontextmenu

Accessibility Settings

Make it possible to change font-size, alternatives should be: small, normal, big. (20%, 25%, 30% of height). Maybe also extra large, which would be 50% of the height.

Make the game-over menu visible at site start

Flags

If you place flags before clicking on any tile, the flags are removed but the countrr isn't updated to reflect that

Settings

The settings menu now has the functionality to do what it's created for, the next step is to style the menu so that it looks presentable and modern.
