Drag the circular playing field to scroll it, tap heptagonal panels to uncover them.
If a mine is revealed, you lose the game. If you uncover all the panels that have no mines, you win.
Tap a horizontal arrow to start a new game. "Easy", "Normal" and "Hard" buttons enable you to change the game difficulty.
You can adjust the position of playing field with the vertical arrows (iPhone only).
It never fails to entertain me by breaking my sense of direction which is very good (can navigate most euclidean 3d mazes and navigate 4d ones too!) I would give this a infinity*i/10 give or take a taxicab universe's pi!
I’ve been wanting to play hyperbolic minesweeper for years, and I am not disappointed! There is a lot of room for improvement, like being able to flag mines, and get a count of remaining (total - flagged) mines. Or using a projection that would take up more of the screen (though on an iPad it plays well anyway). Ultimately it’d be fascinating to be able to try different tilings of the plane, but this is a fantastic start! Thanks so much! (I was trying to figure out how too write this myself, but I’m not much of a programmer and I didn’t know where to begin with a hyperbolic board.)
