Show HN: Made a PvP style Minesweeper game

A revamped Minesweeper passion project introduces a PvP-style multiplayer mode with rooms for up to three players, a scoring system of +1/-3, and three speed-based difficulty modes designed for balanced and fast-paced gameplay.

Background

Minesweeper is a classic single-player puzzle game where players click tiles on a grid to reveal hidden numbers that indicate how many mines are adjacent, trying to flag all mines without detonating one. This project turns it into a competitive multiplayer experience (Player vs Player, or PvP) for up to 3 players per room. The scoring system (+1 for correct moves, -3 for hitting a mine) and three speed modes add a layer of real-time strategy absent from the original. The site was shared on Hacker News ("Show HN"), meaning it was posted by the creator himself as a personal project for feedback. The novelty is the multiplayer twist on a decades-old, universally known single-player game.
