    Oof.

    Now, hear me out, but what if Minesweeper had a continuously tileable playfield? Like, what if the mine count numbers on the edges of the board actually wrapped around?

    You know, like you got a number on the very right edge of the board, but it’s also counting the mines on the very left edge of the board, and you can pan scroll the entire playfield around?

    Just a random brainfart of a thought for the day…

      That would be toroidal geometry, and it opens up the question of other geometries, such as the Klein bottle.
