I also want to be able to double tap a number to reveal all un-flagged tiles adjacent. (For extra safety, this should only work if the number of flags adjacent are equal or greater to the cell’s value)
Also, the ‘rate this game’ shortcut doesn’t work. Maybe because I’ve disabled rating pestering.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
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 need to be fast enough as to not slow the grid generation (which already takes a few seconds on the maximum size). So I'd love to add this ultimately, but not entirely sure I'll have the resources.
But also it’s not really a requirement, original Windows minesweeper doesn’t have that, so it’s kind expected to have to try your luck sometimes.
Can you explain the “Data Tracked and Linked to You” in the App Store? The game looks fun but I’m hoping to see something a little more privacy friendly, that isn’t collecting and selling my data. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/minesweeper-twist/id6473121693
Neat... but I'm missing the left+right click, in the Windows Minesweeper, say you have a square with 4, and you've marked 4 squares around it as bombs, you can left+right click on the 4-square and uncover all the unmarked squares around it, instead of going one by one. Also "undo" is cool, but "lose 60s" seems backwards, considering one would get 60 seconds added to one's time.

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's not the ideal wording. I was thinking it in terms of the less time you end up with, the better your score is. But "gain 60s" wouldn't work either. I'll have a think, but curious to hear if anyone has su…
Left-clicking the number is an option, and works for touchpads where chording and middle-click just don't.
Excellent on iPhone 12 mini. Love it. Thank you for sharing!! Q: Would it be possible to make the grids… even more random? What’s your gridding approach? I was almost a bit "disappointed" that the grids still looked like, well, grids.
Thanks a lot to you for the kind words, that's great to read! And I explain the generation method in another comment, but here it is as well: -------------------- The generation is inspired by what Oskar Stålberg has done for his game Townscaper. It is done with those steps: - start with triangles (ideally in an hexagonal pattern). - merge pairs of triangles into quads, randomly leaving some as triangles. - we subdiv…
