  • June 9, 2009: Thanks to Carl Zulauf for putting together a Palm Pre version. It has a nice solution for switching into "Flags On" mode for devices that don't have a right click or space bar.
  • January 1, 2009: We're serving up 2.5 million games of MineSweeper each year, just from this site. I don't know how many games are played via various dashboard widgets, PSP versions, mirrors, and mobile phone versions, but based on community feedback it dwarfs this site's traffic. Wow. Thanks everyone.
  • December 19, 2008: Thanks to Josh Morris for fixing several display problems with running Patrick Conant's OSX Widget in Leopard. You can get it here.
  • October 15, 2007: Thanks to iMineSweeper for using Javascript Minesweeper for a Apple iPhone and iPod Touch version.
  • October 2, 2007: Apple has removed the OSX Dashboard Widget by Patrick Conant but you can still get it here.
  • February 19, 2007: Thanks to Ryan Oksenhorn for a sleek skin update to the OSX Dashboard Widget.
  • September 1, 2006: We've moved! Finally, moved from comcast.net to a host with a bit more reliability and speed.
  • December 22, 2005: Javascript Minesweeper was dugg [digg.com]. (Actually it was dugg a while ago, but I just found out)
  • July 30, 2005: Thanks to makarman who has included Javascript Minesweeper in the PSP JavaScript Homebrew Portal
  • June 8, 2005: Thanks to Patrick Conant who transformed Javascript Minesweeper into an OSX Dashboard Widget

If you want to use/redistribute Javascript Minesweeper, that's great, just add a link back to my site. You can download the source code here. Contact me to get the latest-and-greatest and so I fix with issues on new platforms.


These sites do a better job than I of maintaining links to other minesweeper resources:
Wikipedia Minesweeper
Google's Web Directory Minesweeper Category
Google's Web Directory JavaScript Game Category
