   On the left of the face emoji, in the top bar, you should see the number of remaining mines. It's not exactly like the version you linked, which should "number found / total", as what I show is simply "remaining min

   Nice! Almost there. Still, you're now ready to move on the intermediate/expert grids :D

   It doesn't sadly. I had tried to implement that, but couldn't find a provable way to prevent 50/50. It's especially trickier as I can't use an algo with just rows and columns, it has to work on a graph. And it would

   ah very interesting! I've done quite a few iterations of the speed at which they get uncovered, and it's definitely tricky to nail down. I've tried to find a middle ground between something that's rewarding/satisfyi

   ah very sorry about the dialog being too large. Which phone have you used it on? I should really fix this. I've tested on an iphone mini, and even though the dialog is quite big on it, so I should indeed try and shrink it, it doesn&#x2

   Yes, completely agree. It does take time to get used to it. And even after having playing many games of this one, I can still trip me up at times.

   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&#x27

    I'm building one, called Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com/ ), you have a few examples to play with ( https://polygonjs.com/docs/examples ).

    Nice find! And yes, hyperbolic games can be very fun, I agree.

    Thank you! And I think a hyperbolic version of minesweeper already exists, so I don't plan on tackling that. Instead I'm working on variants of checkers, chess, othello and go, using a similar irregular grid.

    I love the simplicity of this game, very nicely done. And I poked around your source, and it's nice to see how you've created the levels ( https://www.thomasfriday.com/cuboid/levels.js ).

    Thank you! And yes, 3D apps are already full of performance challenges, it's even more so when made in javascript. I probably spend 30% of my time doing optimizations (while trying to avoid premature optimizations!). The biggest win re

    Thanks a lot for linking Polygonjs here! I assume it might be a follow up to my tweet yesterday announcing new CAD modelling nodes [0]. For context, Polygonjs is a design & animation tool for WebGL. It is based on the popular threejs li

    I'm very glad to discover this. I'll be evaluating shortly if I could/should integrate it in my procedural design tool Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com )

    Is it (or do you plan to have it) accessible via an api? I'd love to try and make it usable in Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com/ ), so it could be part of a non-destructible workflow.

    I invite you to add https://polygonjs.com , which is fully node-based (I'm the author). You can create procedural geometry, shaders, behaviors, with just nodes. It is inspired by Houdini/Nuke/Unreal. The main engin

    Just like everything, "it depends". When creating websites, where it's only or mostly about logic and sending data around, I much prefer writing code. But as soon as there is a visual element, a visual tool is crucial. When I

    I'm sure there are multiple next steps possible in parallel, but one is most likely that those apps become accessible in a browser with just a click. That's my approach with Polygonjs ( https://polygonjs.com ) It'

    My take is that those apps will be designed to create interactive experiences. At least that's the direction I follow with the one I create ( https://polygonjs.com )
