Minesweeper in C!

Minesweeper

This is a command line minesweeper game in C.

Compiling & Running

Just run make to build. The binary is bin/release/main.

Playing

To play, run bin/release/main. You're presented with a blank board. You can start typing commands. The commands are a single character, followed by a row, a comma, and a column. Here are the possible commands right now:

  • d ROW,COL: Dig. This is what clicking normally is in minesweeper.
  • f ROW,COL: Flag. This places a flag.
  • u ROW,COL: Unflag. This removes a flag.
  • r ROW,COL: Reveal. Use this to dig all the neighbors of a cell marked with the number n, when you have already flagged the n neighbors that have mines.
  • q: Quit. Use this if you're doing really poorly and just want to give up.
  • h: Help. Just lists all the commands.

Whitespace doesn't matter too much. d 0, 3, d0,3, d0, 3, d 0,3, and d 0 , 3 are all OK. You can also (theoretically) enter multiple commands on one line (separated by whitespace).
