Minesweeper.js

A WebWorker powered Minesweeper game written in JavaScript, HTML and CSS.

Features:

• Configurable grid size (X, Y)
• User can choose difficulty level
• Configurable number of mines
• Stopwatch with score keeping (LocalStorage)
• Stack based grid traversal algorithm for memory efficiency
• HTML5 web worker (required) will be used to perform the stack algorithm outside of the UI thread
• Left and right mouse button used simultaneously clears multiple cells

How to use:

Download all the files and open index.html in a modern web browser. Due to Javascript security restrictions with loading external scripts, you must serve it from at least a basic web server. For example, navigate to the directory and run php -S localhost:9797 then open http://localhost:9797/index.html in a browser. Or with Python, run python -m SimpleHTTPServer 9797.

Example HTML usage:

<!-- requires jQuery -->
<h1 class="logo">JavaScript MineSweeper
<div class="invisible ajax-loading"><img src="load.gif" alt="Processing..."/></div>
</h1>
<div id="minesweeper"></div>

<script src="js/MineSweeper.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script>
// set a global instance of Minesweeper
minesweeper = new MineSweeper();
minesweeper.init();
</script>

To Do:

• Add animation and better graphics
• Enhance UI for a sleek new look
