Blow away that this is your first pico-8 attempt, and it turned out so well.  Great job.

aw, I had a great run going but I clicked slightly offscreen and I think it activated a mine at the end of the previous row. fun game! wish I could right click but I know that’s hard to fit

Developer

Yeah, the bounds checking for clicks isnt something that fit so isnt really there :)

Since I also wanted it to be more feature-full than my original submission, I did spend some time this week doing some compression/cleaning and adding the features I really wanted: automatic 0-filling and right-click flagging within the limit (I never wanted to get rid of that or else I could easily just do the whole thing with timer and stuff). And so how, it all fits in exactly 500 characters:

My first time trying to submit; a very rough page since I was trying to figure out how to actually include a playable version embedded in the page.

the p8 manual has instructions for uploading to itch, and here’s a video tutorial (I haven’t watched it and I have no idea why it’s so long, but it’s a great channel and I’m sure it covers the basics well)

essentially you need to EXPORT -F MINES.HTML, zip up the folder it creates, then upload that

I dont actually have the PICO-8 program, Im just using the web EDU one; and that one doesnt have export; so I had to go a less-nice route
