A demake of the classic minesweeper.

The game cartridge's filesize is just 1024 bytes of compressed code (including the string-encoded sprites)

> RULES / CONTROLS:

• left click to reveal a tile
  • if you hit a mine, you lose
  • revealed tiles will show a number, telling how many of their 8 neighbors are mines
• right click to flag a tile
• reveal all non-mine tiles to win!
• click the smiley face to restart

> TIPS

• left click + right click (simultaneous) to auto-reveal neighbors, if the number of nearby flags matches the number on the tile you clicked
• mines left and a timer are displayed in the top corners

Thanks to the following people + tools for helping make this possible!

• timp - shrinko8: compresses slightly better than pico8 itself, and made it easy to quickly see compression statistics while working outside pico8
• carlc - pixavis: let me play around and understand exactly how pico8's compression works
• jadelombax - graphics tutorial: I used a modified version of this RLE compressor to encode my sprites
• zep - pico-8: the coziest game engine 🐱
• liquidream - pico1k jam: these jams are too much fun :)
