💎 Minesweeper in C

A terminal-based implementation of the classic Minesweeper game, built in C.
Navigate through a minefield without detonating any bombs while revealing safe squares!

🎮 About the Game

Minesweeper is a single-player puzzle game, originally invented by Robert Donner in 1989. The objective is to clear a rectangular field of hidden mines without triggering any of them. The game is renowned for its simplicity and strategic depth.

📜 Rules

  • The game area consists of a rectangular grid of squares.
  • Clicking on a square reveals its contents:
    1. If it contains a mine, the game is over.
    2. If it’s safe, it either shows a number indicating adjacent mines or reveals adjacent squares if empty.
  • You win by revealing all squares that don’t contain mines.

🛠️ Usage

After executing the program, choose an option:

  1. Print the Board
    Reads a board name from stdin (examples included in the boards directory) and prints the unaltered board to stdout.

  2. Print the Board with Hints
    Similar to option 1 but includes hints on adjacent mines.

  3. User Action
    Reads a board name and user-specified coordinates to reveal squares until mines are encountered.
