Gather 'round, tech aficionados, as we dive into the thrilling world of AI coding agents, tasked with creating the iconic game of Minesweeper!


Ars Technica recently pitted four AI titans against each other to see who could craft the best web-based Minesweeper clone, complete with sound effects, mobile support, and a cheeky gameplay twist. The results? A mixed bag of triumphs and tumbles.


Leading the pack was OpenAI's Codex, which dazzled with a 9/10 score. Not only did it nail the visuals and sound, but it also included the beloved "chording" feature, a must for Minesweeper enthusiasts. Codex even threw in a "Lucky Sweep" button for a touch of whimsy. Despite a leisurely coding pace, it emerged as the top contender, ready for prime time with minimal tweaks.


Next up, Anthropic's Claude Code impressed with its sleek aesthetics and speedy delivery, earning a solid 7/10. While it lacked chording, it offered "Power Mode" for creative gameplay and a user-friendly interface. A polished presentation, but alas, no chording meant it fell short of perfection.

Mistral Vibe came in third, scoring 4/10. Its Minesweeper clone worked but missed key features like sound and chording. Despite some visual quirks, it performed admirably given its smaller scale resources.


Bringing up the rear was Google's Gemini CLI, which unfortunately flopped with a 0/10. Despite high expectations, its Minesweeper clone was incomplete, plagued by lengthy coding times and missing components.


In this AI showdown, Codex reigned supreme, but the journey highlighted both the promise and pitfalls of AI-driven creativity. So, as we marvel at AI's potential, let's remember: even in the digital age, a touch of human ingenuity still makes all the difference!
