This is a Java GUI app that emulates the classic Minesweeper game that was bundled with Windows since version 3.0.
Make sure you have the Java Runtime Environment (at least version 5) installed and double-click minesweeper (on macOS) or minesweeper.bat (on Windows) in the dist folder.
Dependencies: JDK >= 1.5
Just run make. To also create the JAR file, run make all.
