I built this Minesweeper applet from scratch during uni summer holidays in 2000 to play with Java & AWT (Java Swing was not a package installed by default in web browsers). That means that all the buttons, user interface, game logic and everything is coded into the applet - the board completion algorithm was lots of fun!

This applet has only been properly tested in Internet Explorer 5 but any browser with a decent JVM should render it (Click the 'Launch Minesweeper' button to the left)

If the window shows up funny, try resizing the board (from intermediate to beginner) in order to see the game - the high scores only work in IE due to the dialog problem. (Browsers like firefox have JVM's that implement dialog launching differently)
