Play Minesweeper in your Terminal (made with TermLoop)

About

This was a fun weekend project inspired by an interview question. After implementing the logic of generating a Minesweeper grid, I decided to just make it into a full-blown terminal game using @JoeOtter's excellent termloop library.

Usage

$ go install github.com/ryanbaer/minesweeper-go

$ minesweeper-go -help
	Usage: minesweeper <width> <height> <# of mines>
	Default: minesweeper 20 10 10

$ minesweeper-go

Support This project was developed on macOS, and has been tested on Windows as well.

Roadmap

• Possibly make squares bigger (maybe by scaling to the dimensions of the screen)
• Any bug fixes
• Clean up code
  • Could use less config & more context for passing data through
    • Comment all methods
    • Review what really needs to be public / private
• Remove win & lose levels in favor of simple "Press [enter] to play again" on main level
• Fix ugly appearance from unrendered unicode on Windows command prompt
• Investigate high CPU on macOS (Thanks @mrcrilly for pointing out the very high default FPS in TermLoop)

Troubleshooting
