24 alternatives to Keyboard Minesweeper

Hi HN! Here's a little hobby project of mine. I reimagined Minesweeper for the keyboard warriors out there. No mouse. No distractions.

The changes an irregular grid brings are that cells don't all have 8 neighbors. Some can have less, some can have more. So when you try and deduce if a tile has a mine, you have to pay closer attention at the number clues and which tiles neighbors it.
