How to start a new game

Embed

  1. Start a game

    In order to start a game, you must first send the url "https://mines.sylv.cat/new" in any Discord channel.

    Then, it will instruct you to send a message. That message will replace the parameters in the URL with your custom parameters. For example, if you want to play on an 8x8 map with 10 mines, you would have to send something like this:

    s/new/embed?init=i+love+yonkagor&w=8&h=8&m=10
    (Replace the "i+love+yonkagor" text with your own random string)
  2. Play

    Once you send the setup message, the embed will update itself with the game link. All you have to do is copy that link and paste it in a Discord channel.

  1. Generate a link.

    First you need to generate a brand new game link, you can do this by either going to mines.sylv.cat and copying the link after it's done loading, or you can use this little tool I made.
    The generated link will show up here.
  2. Post the link

    Post the link anywhere on Discord. And you're done!
