Can you write a bit how you built it and what tech was used?

Re: Show HN: I made a live multiplayer Minesweeper game
#72played as "birch", here's my first impressions and feedback - my play style was definitely limited by the "2 actions per second" limit (I had to actively control my pace), and also disrupted by the info tooltip appearing over the cells I want to click when those extra fast clicks happen to be towards the bottom - placing a mine counts as an action, which incentivizes farming hunting mines while letting others explore…

Yep, once upon a time I was a reasonably fast player. All my best times (PB around 80 seconds on the large board) were done without flagging mines.

#73The 1s limit is sooooo frustrating for someone who knows how to solve the game efficiently :')
Re: Show HN: I made a live multiplayer Minesweeper game
#74the 1s limit is too restrictive for somebody who used to be the second best in the world :)

#75Thanks for all the feedback! I hear you guys and am working on adding these in the following days:
1) Fast-paced mode
2) Private games
Cheers!

#77This is extremely fun. Great idea! How did you do the multiplayer comms?

#78100% broken. Placing a flag reveals instantly if your guess is correct or not. This is not how minesweeper works.

#79What is the difference between "live multiplayer" and "multiplayer"?
Multiplayer is a more general term that encompasses things like turn-based multi-player which could be anything from live-ish (people taking turns immediately after each other, like traditional board games) to very high latency (like chess by post¹).

#80First impression was that you prompted some LLM to make this.
The game itself is fun and has character (like the animated face).
And the subtle encouragement to login to not reset points is clever.
