Excel Minesweeper

Description

This program was written by me. It started out as a fairly simple implementation of the minesweeper program, which did only two things:

Sets the mines, without putting one in the upper left hand corner (because I always want a place to start), and
Pasting the formula to let you know how many surrounding cells have mines

After starting this website and posting this program, I finally got around to adding a recursive code call that allowed the macro to "turn over" every cell surrounding a cell with zero mines. Because let's face it, that is the coolest part of playing minesweeper. And it is annoying to have to turn over the cells one at a time.

At some future point I will program it to allow a variable sized playing field.

The program started as a pure Excel creation, where I literally copied and pasted the formula that now reveals the number of surrounding mines. A more sophisticated VBA programmer (such as I sort of am, now) would have left the minefield entirely in a VBA array, but what the heck, it works.

This version of the program was written by Meir Bogot. Cool interface, in that you can run the game off just the mouse.
