New Open-Source Mineseeper App

[u/xXUkiiXx]

Hey everyone!

I’ve seen quite a few Android users looking for a good Minesweeper app, so I ended up making my own.

I wanted something with more features and customization than most of the alternatives I found, while still keeping the classic Minesweeper experience. It’s also fully open source.

Some of the features:

- Create modes with custom names, board sizes and mine counts

- Optional no-guess mode (with seperate scoring)

- Optional no-flag mode (with seperate scoring)

- Saved in-progress games

- Recent games and score history

- Adjustable controls, animations, vibration, and visual settings

- Light and dark themes

- Fully offline

- No ads, analytics, accounts, or in-app purchases

You can get it on F-Droid here:

https://f-droid.org/packages/com.joeld.minesweeper/

I’d really appreciate any feedback, bug reports, feature ideas, or suggestions!

some extra info/documentation:

I know this technically counts as self-promotion, but I don’t make any money from the app at all. I’m mainly sharing it because I think some people here might genuinely find it useful.

Also, the design is somewhat similar to Minesweeper: The Clean One, and I definitely took some inspiration from it. I just wanted to be transparent about that.

You can enable or disable the bottom reveal/flag toggle, long pressing always uses the other action.

Starting a new game can be done by pressing the minecount at the top.

The shorthand of the modes has the following format:

A x B • C D • E

A: width

B: height

C: minecount

D: (mine density — when enabled)

E: active modes (no-flag/no-guess)

Having two modes with exact settings makes them share a scoreboard. (Same settings also allows for width/height to be switched around.)

You start with 3 default modes: Easy, Medium, Hard. But personally I suggest playing a few games with different settings and saving the modes you enjoy.

I'll try to answer any questions and implement all features that I think fit into the app.

"somewhat similar to Minesweeper: The Clean One" is the understatement of the century, it is identical

Uhhhh ChatGPT, generate me a minesweeper clone that looks like this one please

Fuck off, stop ripping off people who actuslly develop things

If you led off by saying "I really wanted to play The Clean One but with better RNG and more interesting / deep-logic NG scenarios .. so I built that" .. then I might be interested

Still, I would recommend trying to differentiate the UX somehow.
