I visit HN for experiments like this. Love it.

The aliasing or whatever on the gridlines is causing that moire effect optical illusion for me and making it hard to enjoy looking for more than a few minutes.

It seems it was hugged!

Nice game, was able to play it for a bit, got 8 right tops.

It seems like the density of bombs is much larger than a regular minesweeper? Or I've just been playing on easy mode in other times...

Probably someone found a mine already.

Not working for me either right now. There was a game like this before, something like minefield.net, but it eventually disappeared. Played it every now and then with a couple colleagues during lunch break.

In a way, yes. It's fixed now.

Needs a different size grid for mobile so you don't fat finger mines, otherwise pretty cool.

Do not trust other people's flags though as they can be wrong - possibly intentionally.

Good point. I'll fix that. Do you mind telling me your screen resolution? I think this problem may be more pronounced on relatively low-res screens.

When I get home I'll give you a dump of info. It's a 4k screen with something like 150% UI scaling. Windows. Chrome. I'll test it in Ubuntu and on my other pc.

Something to be aware of is to use integer math where possible when dealing with canvas coordinates and drawing. I found I ran into similar issues when I allowed fractions to get into my system.
