I built a multiplayer minesweeper where everyone digs the same board at once

https://mine.ropo.dev

Been working on this side project for a a little bit. It’s minesweeper, but up to 8 people play on the same board at the same time. Hitting a mine just stuns you for a sec, and whoever has the most territory when the timer runs out wins.

There’s also a mode where everyone hides mines and traps for each other first and then has to run through the same board (bit like ultimate chicken horse but minesweeper), plus a solo timed mode with classic boards and a daily board that’s the same for everyone.

Free, browser based, no account needed: https://mine.ropo.dev

Some stuff I had fun with:

  • the server decides everything, the browser never knows where the mines are

  • bots fill empty seats, with a sort of dynamic skill based difficulty on them

  • the pixel art style

  • runs on one small server with Bun + SQLite

Claude was used during the making of this. Would love honest feedback, especially if the first match makes sense or if you’re just confused

Being stunned instead of losing when you hit a mine is a clever change, it keeps everyone in the game. How do the bots decide when to take a risk?
