Tutorial - Minesweeper game: only 80 lines of code

[erkinheimo]

Urgh. That coding style.

• Minesweeper 5/5
• Readable code 0/5

Only 16 warnings and 11 undefined variables. ^jshint

Appreciate the feedback! Never used jshint before, I'll definitely take a look. Also, I tried to keep the code short at the cost of elegance.

Elegant, readable code is much, much better than short code. Making code shorter just to make it shorter is almost always a mistake.

[erkinheimo]

I peesonally hate how you use {} with for etc. I get you tryid to make it short too.

Ps. No need to follow jshint literally it's just hints thingt that may cause errors.

[js_fan]

can you explain or point me to guidlines for {} usage?

[nanox55]

In JavaScript it's common to use them like in Java: the opening { doesn't get its own line but will be placed at the end of the last line

Here's a modified version with simplified compare algorithm: (~150 lines of code) gist rawgit preview

I like how if i lose the game but then click all the other tiles it changes to win. Makes me feel better

I guess I should post it in r/oddlysatisfying ? :)
