Minesweeper multiplayer

Created February 27, 2023

Description

Me and my friends were bored and found co-op minesweeper
but it only allowed for 2 players to play together and we we're 5.
So I challenged my self to create a multiplayer minesweeper until the end of the day

Solution

Used nodejs and socket.io to create a server to handle all the clients
Since it seemed to be the fastest way to get it up and running.
Friends kept requesting features such as insults when failing, size, bombs

Result

Looking back

It was really fun to do this it felt like a game jam because I was getting feedback as I kept building.
Really good way to learn while being under pressure.
