While trying to get a good grasp of JavaScript/CSS, I decided to implement Mine Sweeper.

I tried to use the standard colors for the numbering and standard icons for mines/flag/unknown.

 

I’ve identified the 5 states that any particular cell could be and designed a finite state machine for one cell

• S is for initial state
• B is for bomb
• F is for flag
• ? is for unknown
• C is for clear
