Post Description

I tried to combine classical Minesweeper with hexagonal geometry and periodic boundary conditions. Classical numbers have random noise added (guess the amplitude). The missing element was (Free)Doom panel and sounds. Choose your difficulty wisely. The challenge is daily so do not shoot yourself in the foot. Negative values uncover the neighbors automatically. What else could you imagine as a modification to the classic Minesweeper?
