60lminesweeper

what?

This is a CLI minesweeper application written in 60 LoC python. You can use d row,column to dig and f row,column to flag/unflag

okay, but why?

A few days ago I had the following conversation with my friends:

• "I mean, minesweeper is easy, I can do it in 60 lines"
• "Naaaah, it'll take more lines"
• "I'll do it in 60 lines of python code, where I can only use 5 instructions per line"
• "OK, do it"

So that's why

what are the files?

Filename	Purpose
main.py	the program with the most features under 60 LoC
main-min.py	the program with the least amount of LoC while having the functionality of the minesweeper
main-readable.py	main.py but readable and commented
main-min-readable.py	main-min.py but readable and commented

what are the criteria?

This is arbitrary, but the criteria is the following:

• under 60 LoC
• no base64 packed code
• no eval() or exec()
• no reading other files for code
• no importing non-default libraries, default libraries can be os in python or string in C
• maximum 5 instructions per line, meaning only 4 ; per line
• features:
  • be able to dig
  • be able to flag
  • can die or win
  • display map, but only display digged fields
