Notes
Recently I was scheduled to interview for a position and the company sent some preparation material. One of the suggested assignments was to create a command line version of Minesweeper. I decided it would be cooler to build a graphic version since I had been messing around with Svg and D3 alot recently. I ended up with a new appreciation for the power of Svg. Aside from the border around the game and the fonts, the rest of the user interface was created using Boxy Svg.
