Thanks a lot for trying it and the feedback. As a sibling comment said, left+right click should work (as well as middle click). Which OS/browser are you using? I like to fix this.
And you're right for "lose 60s", It's not the ideal wording. I was thinking it in terms of the less time you end up with, the better your score is. But "gain 60s" wouldn't work either. I'll have a think, but curious to hear if anyone has suggestions for this.
- baobun 3y ago"+60s"?
- Szpadel 3y agomaybe "60s penalty" would be better wording?
- piranha 3y agoMiddle click does not work for me on a Mac. Maybe cmd+click or double click would be ok to do?
- frading 3y agoThanks a lot for the feedback and suggestion. And yes, I think it makes sense to add those.
- o11c 3y agoMiddle-click to progress works, but middle-click to flash (with no net effect, just so you can count) doesn't. This would really help work around the unintuitive neighbors problem mentioned elsewhere.
- frading 3y agoah yes. I have not added that, but it's on my list. I completely agree it would help. I'll see if I can get to it. Thanks a lot for the nudge, that's super useful.

- TehShrike 3y agoI'm using a trackpad, so I don't have middle-click or right+left-click – could you make a single-click or double-click on the number cause the clear?

- Crespyl 3y agoRe wording: perhaps "costs 60s" might be sufficiently unambiguous?
- frading 3y agothank you for your suggestion. I went with the "60s penalty" suggestion in the end.
- Qwertious 3y agoI have a touchpad (and a crappy one at that), left+right click isn't an option, nor is middle click. Left-clicking the number is an option, and works for touchpads where chording and middle-click just don't.
- thaumasiotes 3y agoOne "challenge mode" (entirely self-directed) for Minesweeper was to complete the board without flagging any mines. (Once you've revealed every non-mine space, all the mines get flagged automatically and you win.) Disabling left+right click brings us a lot closer to that mode. Maybe you could formalize it and call it an option? A much bigger problem with right click (and left+right click) is that it's bringing up the browser context menu. That shouldn't happen. If we're trying to be authentic to original Minesweeper, I see that you've implemented the sunglasses face that appears once you've won the game. The original also uses an ":o" face (circular mouth) when revealing a hidden square. Maybe U+1F62E?
- frading 3y agoI didn't realise that completing a grid without putting any flag was a challenge people would take. That's very good to know, thank you. So yes, maybe I'll formalize it, that would make sense. And I believe that the context menu appearing is only on MacOS? The closest I have is a mac book, and I can't reproduce the problem on it unfortunately. But it looks like I can reproduce it on linux/chrome, with the browser dev tools set to mobile, so hopefully that fix will also solve the problem on MacOS. I'll report back when that's deployed. For the emoji, at the moment, you can see a scared face when you click on an uncovered tile, and take about 1sec to release the mouse. So when you're hesitating for instance. And I think I'm happy with how it is at the moment, I'll take care of all the other bugs mentioned here as a higher priority.
