Minesweeper for MCphone
A complete port of the classic Windows XP Minesweeper into the MCphone phone screen, faithfully recreating the original pixel-art look, sound effects and gameplay.
Features
- Full Minesweeper gameplay: Beginner 9×9 / Intermediate 16×16 / Expert 30×16, plus fully custom boards (width / height / mine count)
- Animated smiley face: normal / pressed / scared / dead / winner expressions — click it anytime to restart
- LED-style counters: live remaining-mine and elapsed-time displays, with correct negative-number rendering
- Complete in-game menu: new game, ?-mark toggle, color toggle, sound toggle, best times, and Beginner / Intermediate / Expert / Custom difficulties
- Custom game dialog: numeric inputs with +/− stepper buttons, with automatic validation against legal limits (e.g. a 2×2 board allows at most 3 mines)
- Flag / Question tool buttons: since MCphone cannot capture right-click input, flagging and question-marking are implemented as two mutually exclusive buttons, both with proper pressed states
- Best Times leaderboard: records for Beginner / Intermediate / Expert
- Original sound effects: click, lose and win sounds
