How to play

Aim: To discover (click on) more mines than your opponent. This is the opposite of the traditional minesweeper.

1. You and your opponents take turns clicking on a tile that is not opened.
   1. If it is a mine, you get a point and one more try.
   2. If it is not a mine,
      1. It will show how many mines it is touching (1-8)
      2. If no mine is touching this tile, it will automatically open all touching tiles, causing a chain reaction
2. The game ends when a player finds more than 50% mines

How to use

Set up (production)

$ git clone https://github.com/vicksonzero/socketio-Minesweeper.git
$ npm install
$ npm start

End points

1. GET / starts a new game, join it and show a link for the other player
2. GET /?token=TOKEN joins a game with a token.
3. GET /newRoom starts a new game, returns JSON
4. GET /rooms lists all games

Advanced

Nested Express modules

src/app.js is in fact an express.Router. It means that you can do the following:

var express = require('express');
var app = express();
var msnSweeper = require('src/app');
app.use('/msnSweeper/', msnSweeper);

and serve msnSweeper inside another express module.

Auto-resume / kill rooms

Game rooms are open by going to GET /, and is maintained as long as 1 of the players are still in the room.

Unfortunately, once both players leave the room, it is immediately destroyed.

Socket.io and DigitalOcean

I have no idea why, but you need to fill in actual ip address for socket.io stuff to work on DigitalOcean.

Roadmap

1. Use bootstrap
2. clean up commented unused code
3. use view engines to inject data
4. use colored flags to distinguish mines flagged by different players
5. 5x5 bombs (well.....)
6. mobile-friendly
