We've got minesweeper icons for "1", "2", and "3", but I think it's possible to have up to "8" (in a diabolical case).

May want to assign this to one of the "game design" members if any are interested in still creating icons...

Note...wasn't sure whether to flag this as a "bug" or "feature request"; chose "bug" as it's missing functionality.

The highest theoretical number we need on an 8x8 grid is a 4. Which is a dark blue (see here)

What about this board situation, where x shows a bomb, and I'm using dashes for "no bomb around":

x x x 2 - - - -
x 8 x 3 - - - -
x x x 2 - - - -
2 3 2 1 - - - -
- - - - - - - - 
...

(yes, it's diabolical....)

And thought my way through the MS logic...it's actually not that bad. May be a good excuse to run through "HLD/LLD"...

That is technically correct, yes. What we should avoid is "hidden" bombs with no neighboring number as discussed in this question

gsalaman commented 3 years ago

Ah...okay. That leads to the question: "what are the requirements on our board?" Sounds like we've got at least three:

The 8x8 minesweeper board has 10 (TBR) bombs on it.
Any given empty square can only be adjacent to at most 4 bombs (inferred from first answer above)
No "hidden" bombs allowed. Said another way, any given bomb must have at least one vacant square around it.

In any event, we're still missing the "4" png...

gsalaman commented 3 years ago

Added 4 and 5. We'll respin the board if there are more than 5 touching a given square.
