Created some free sites to play online versions of retro MS games like Minesweeper, Solitaire and others such as Sudoku & Tic Tac Toe. I learned about Cloudflare's Pages at same time to host all the code at no cost.

I miss those end-game animations in Solitaire! If you can bring those back to life it's truly perfect.

I lost on my first click in Minesweeper. That's the authentic Minesweeper game experience I'm seeking for!

I've had a MacBook for years and never knew this was a thing.

And it's not exclusive to macOS. Pretty much all modern laptops running modern Windows, Linux, or macOS has the two-finger tap feature.
