I'm interested, though I have no real use for the knowledge. Would love to be able to see something before signing up: an example problem, maybe a solution?
apsv··on Show HN: I made a live multiplayer Minesweeper game
Played a bit as "oxer", agree on all notes about the gameplay being steered towards observing and competing rather than collaboration. A few notes:

- Maybe flagging shouldn't trigger correctness checks: in traditional minesweeper, placing a flag is just a marker of "I believe there is a bomb here.", but to actually know you need to check.

- Chording doesn't seem to be fully taken into account: sometimes clicking a single empty spot will open up a large area, but still only counts as one point. Maybe if flags aren't checked, chording can become "dangerous" as it'll check multiple possible bombs.

- Not a fan of the action limit, but it serves as a skill leveler of sorts. With a ranking system in place it probably wouldn't be necessary from a gameplay perspective.

- If the objective is a collaborative experience, maybe taking a spin on the game, like adding turns or planning, would be nice

Really fun
