Unresponsive interface

"Mines" looks pretty decent but its user interface just isn't responsive enough, at least for a seasoned minesweeper player. The problem lies within event handling -- if you click on a cell without moving the cursor between the "mouse down" and "mouse up" events, everything goes smoothly and you get an instantaneous reaction. But even with a slightest "drag", your click gets ignored. This is unacceptable if you want to master your solving speed. And for that, where's the game timer?

Apart from the aforementioned issues, the game lacks one of the major features of the original minesweeper - the possibility to automatically reveal remaining cells by clicking with the left and right mouse buttons simultaneously, also known as the "left-right clicking trick". If you're not familiar with this feature, Google should help.

I also think that including the original "expert mode" (30 by 16 cells with 99 mines) in the game modes would be a nice touch.

Anyway, keep up the good work!
