I think that makes it easier to enter the coordinates. Good work. 👍 · 2 years ago

@skyjake that's a great idea. I struggled a bit with the best way to do this. I used letters instead of numbers to make the broad denser and not have to deal with 2-space identifiers. I like the idea of make one of the upper case. I'll still support just entering them either all lower or all upper in the form of "[row][column]" but if I detect 1 lower and 1 upper then I can accept either order · 2 years ago

On second thought, case-sensitive parsing would allow specifying them in either order. Maybe better UX? · 2 years ago

Very cool. I suppose you used letters for both axes because numbers could get confused with the bomb counts? May I suggest using capitals for the rows to make them more distinct? The input parsing could still be case-insensitive. · 2 years ago
