Claude 3's Sonnet can whip up this sort of thing now in seconds: https://x.com/breckyunits/status/1803864247983837537
It struggles with a few of the more advanced features (in particular, getting advanced features to interplay correctly), but it nails 80% of it on the first try, and generates better visual design than me.
In contrast, it took me a few days to build this (but then again, I was also doing it as research into building yet another react like framework, at that time).
I wonder what CSS tweaks would be needed to get phone cameras to read these properly.
Would definitely accept a pull request for a keyboard shortcut "q" that words like "w" except generates a QR code :)
The fact that I tried a few times to click left+right button on digits tells me I've spent enough time playing minesweeper.
For anyone who haven't tried to become competitive at minesweeper, clicking both mouse buttons on a digit that has the right amount of "bomb marks" on neighboring squares makes the (Windows) game click on all not yet clicked squares.
Agreed. A fun way to play it is 2 player in person. The player tries to guess the word as they go, and the board creator tells them if they got it (so you just try to get the general shape of the word, without actually trying to solve every letter).
1. Press "w" to enter a string that will be converted to a board
2. On a new board before clicking any piece, start adding flags. A link will appear to a custom board where each flag will be a mine.
