I think any kind of graphical application should have at least one screenshot linked in documentation/README

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

It's there now.
Nice! I suggest adding a link to in in the README
Have you not pushed it yet? I can't see it anywhere.
Love me some minesweeper. Does this version also guarantees that are games are deterministic, i.e. you never have to guess the bomb layout?
Nope.
I like the name, "miny" means "mines" in Polish.
Is it available on flathub?
No.
Good programming language choice but no GTK4/libadwaita as I can see. 6/10.
In my personal opinion, the lack of GTK4 a plus - that makes it lighter and easier to port. Bonus points for their choice being OpenGL. That is technically a minus on theming, but I feel like one does not typically theme games, which often need to have their own style.
I do concede that most people probably have GTK4 installed for something anyway, so if this application were written in GTk4, it most likely wouldn't take up extra space on their machine.
In addition, I don't like GTK4 due to client side decorations and those kinds of applications overall just tending to be more GNOME-oriented. Now I wouldn't call GTK4 the spawn of evil - I still use GTK4 applications when they're the best tool for job, especially when it comes to Upscalr or GNOME Clocks. It's just not my favorite GUI toolkit.
It's decisions like the lack of client side decorations, a sys tray, and mouse cursor protocol that makes me wonder what direction they're going for
I dunno… Other 0.7%
It’s not pure.
Jk
I'm guessing that other 0.7% is the Makefile.
