Show the mines

What we are doing

An open mine is drawn on a light red square with a 💣, so after a loss you can see where every mine was.

```js
ctx.fillStyle = cell.mine ? '#fca5a5' : '#e2e8f0'
ctx.fillRect(x + 1, y + 1, CELL - 2, CELL - 2)
if (cell.mine) ctx.fillText('💣', x + CELL / 2, y + CELL / 2 + 1)
else if (cell.count > 0) {
```

What it means

• cell.mine ? a : b picks light red for a mine, light grey otherwise.
• A mine shows a bomb; else if shows the number only when it is not a mine.

Your turn

In the if (cell.revealed) block, change the colour line, add the bomb line, and put else in front of if (cell.count > 0).
