Minesweeper

A modern C++ implementation of the classic Minesweeper game. Test your logic by navigating a hidden minefield using a command-line interface with color support and robust gameplay mechanics.

Features

  • Difficulty Levels:

    • Beginner: 9x9 grid with 10 mines.
    • Intermediate: 16x16 grid with 40 mines.
    • Advanced: 24x24 grid with 99 mines.

  • Gameplay Mechanics:

    • First Move Safety: Your first move is guaranteed to be safe; mines are placed after your first reveal.
    • Flagging System: Mark suspected mines to keep track of the board.
    • Recursive Reveal: Clearing an empty cell automatically reveals all adjacent safe cells.
    • Visual Feedback: ANSI colors highlight different numbers and mine locations for better readability.
    • Play Again Loop: Start a new game immediately after finishing a session.

How to Play

  1. Compile the Game: Use a C++11 compatible compiler: 
    g++ -std=c++11 main.cpp -o minesweeper
  2. Select Difficulty: Choose between Beginner (0), Intermediate (1), or Advanced (2).
  3. Enter Commands:
    • To reveal a cell: r row column (e.g., r 3 4)
    • To flag/unflag a cell: f row column (e.g., f 3 4)
  4. Win or Lose: Successfully reveal all safe cells to win, or hit a mine to lose.

Challenge yourself to navigate the minefield and win the game!
