Wow. My Minesweeper clone was called Swine Meeper, and the premise was similarly bonkers (interstellar livestock pig shipment infected with alien parasite, the player "meeps" them to find the infected hosts). Wrote it in Java way back but never got it on Android.


My version was originally going to be called Swine Meeper! However, after googling it I found this version here: http://www.karaffeltut.com/MineSweeper/minesweeper1.html

I'm guessing that's not yours, as it doesn't seem to have anything to do with pigs. Since it lacked actual pigs I carried on with my idea and just modified the title.

If I'd seen yours I might have come up with some other silly theme.


Small world, at least three different programmers spoonerized Minesweeper. No, mine is not online, nor will it ever be - it was jacked-up student-written Java, I had no idea how to structure code at the time. It's amazing it ever worked at all.
