MineSweeper Distribution Page

What is it?:

MineSweeper is based on Microsoft's Minesweeper that was shipped with many versions of Windows, although the origins of the game go further back than that. What motivated me writing the game was that osxMineSweeper, a popular implementation of Minesweeper on the Mac, became incompatible with the most recent versions of OSX and ceased to run. While other implementation exist, many have issues with Mac's retina displays. The choice of Qt for the GUI allows MineSweeper to work on various platforms (Linux, Windows, Mac) without the need to rewrite a single line of the code. The use of SVG allows easy high resolution graphics on any screen (including Retina displays) and whatever will come along in the future. MineSweeper is quite customizable (pictograms, colors, cell sizes, dimensions and much more). Click here for a screen shot.

Supported Platforms

MineSweeper is currently supported only on macOS alythough older version run happily on Windows 10 and Linux platforms.

Version 1.2.7 (Recommended, December 2023)

macOS (Installer)
Please note that you will get an error notice on the Mac about an unidentified developer and the installation will be blocked. You have to go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy and explicitly allow the install. I am more than happy to share this app for free with everyone but I see little reason to pay Apple for the privilege to do so.
