A Minesweeper-like game that solves itself.

Click or tap the board to play again.

Basic gameplay: A square is selected to reveal what lies below. If it's blank, that's great. If it's a number, that's good - that's how many mines touch the square (including diagonally). If it's a mine, the game is lost. If all non-mine squares are revealed without revealing a mine, the game is won.

Minesweeper Solving Algorithm:
1. Start by randomly revealing squares to find numbers.
2. Scan all revealed numbers; if the amount of unrevealed squares in their perimeter is equal to that number, those squares are definitely mines - flag them.
3. After flagging, scan all revealed numbers again, if there's a matching amount of flagged-mines in its perimeter, reveal everything else around it.

Ideally, this will complete the board and victory is assured. But if mine locations are ambiguous, select the square with the lowest total surrounding it.
(this seems to be slightly better than random, as it attempts to move away from mine clusters).
And if there's no differentiation among the remaining squares, just reveal a random square.

Red-Boxed "M" indicates a suspected mine. These are sure-bets based on the numbers.
Yellow-circles are selections based on the algorithm and are sure-bets based on the numbers.
Blue-circles are basically random but lean towards lower-density mine areas. They can lose the game.
Green-circles are late-game random selections that only occur when the situation is ambiguous. They can lose the game.
