There is one place where it's dynamic, which is that if your very first click is on a mine, then it'll relocate it to the upper-left corner (or the next available spot).

I'm now questioning my memory because I'm convinced I have hit a mine on the first click before ...

Maybe a clone?

I'm surprised it's done this way... I'd expect that it just doesn't generate the mines until the first click.

Nice.

I once wrote a “clone”[1] and when someone here pointed out the “first click is safe” feature, I implemented it by putting the reshuffle inside a while. Never thought of the first click as being “pre game”...

Modern versions of Minesweeper actually makes it so nothing _around_ your first click is a mine, so you always reveal more than one square.

is a version I wrote while trying to teach myself React.
