Features

  • Authentic retro look — hand-drawn Windows XP aesthetic with beveled borders, sunken displays, and the iconic smiley face button
  • Three difficulty levels — Beginner (9x9), Intermediate (16x16), and Expert (16x30)
  • First-click safe — mines are placed after your first tap, so you never lose on the opening move
  • Smart auto-reveal — clicking an empty cell flood-fills all connected safe tiles with numbered hints
  • Play your way — full keyboard modifiers, mouse, and touch support with long-press to flag
  • Bilingual — fully localized in English and Chinese

Installation

Download and install TINKER, then run:

bash
npm i -g tinker-minesweeper

How to Play

  1. Open the Minesweeper plugin in TINKER
  2. Tap any cell to reveal it — numbers tell you how many mines are nearby
  3. Long-press or right-click to flag a suspected mine, right-click again to mark as unknown
  4. Use chord (middle-click or Ctrl+click on a revealed number) to auto-open neighbors when you've placed enough flags
  5. Reveal all safe cells without hitting a mine — lights out if you blow one up!
