Minesweeper using the Recursion Algorithm

A simplified game of minesweeper using vanilla JavaScript

In this walkthrough, I show you how to build Minesweeper in pure JavaScript, HTML, and CSS.

This walkthrough was such a fun one to make as I really enjoyed explaining recursion with the help of a south-park-esque cat.

If you have ever wondered what recursion was, this video is perfect for you! Watch it here

In addition to this, we will also be practising using inbuilt methods such as:

• addEventListener()
• setAttribute()
• fill()
• setInterval()
• some()
• every()
• forEach()
• includes()
• contains()
• add()
• remove()
• createElement()
• appendChild()
• push()
• Array()
• continue

And many more.
