## What it is
PROXX is an open-source browser-based Minesweeper-style proximity game built with Preact, WebGL/Canvas rendering, and web workers. It is designed to run on every device with a web browser, including low-end feature phones, as a progressive web app.

## Use cases
- play a minesweeper-like game in the browser
- play a puzzle game on a feature phone
- study a PWA built with Preact and web workers
- learn how to implement WebGL and Canvas 2D renderers
- see an example of offline-first game architecture with service workers
- run a lightweight game that works without motion or animations

## When to choose
- you want a playable, accessible minesweeper-style game on any device
- you need a reference implementation of a performant PWA game
- you want to study web worker-based game logic and sprite caching in IndexedDB

## When to avoid
- you need a native mobile or desktop game
- you want a modern actively developed game with new features
- you need multiplayer or online leaderboard functionality
