minesweeper's Introduction

Minesweeper

Replica of the classic Microsoft original game written in Java

About

Minesweeper is game originally developed my Microsoft. The objective of the game is to find the empty squares while avoiding the mines. The faster you clear the board, the better your score. The rules in Minesweeper are simple: Uncover a mine and the game ends, uncover an empty square and you keep playing, uncover a number and it tells you how many mines lay hidden in the eight surrounding squares - information you use to deduce which nearby squares are safe to click. Right click to flag a potential mine or set a question mark. Press the smiley to reset.

minesweeper's Issues

Check for mine in starting click

The mine array needs to be initialized after the starting click occurs, in order to make sure that the user does not click on a bomb right away.

labe.getLocation() = (x,y), check the scaling factors and divide accordingly to get proper coordinates. Pass these coordinates to InitializeGridMines, checking for each new coordinate if it is not equal to the passed coordinate.

Slight bug in game / timer logic

If I start a new game, and the first thing I do is mark a coordinate with a flag, and then open another one coordinate, the counter isn't triggered and the timer doesn't begin to tick.

Notes so far

For the timer
int gameStart = 0 when game is not in progress, 1 when game is in progress

For bomb counter
int bombsLeft = (Total Bombs - number of flags on the field)

TBA
Score counting - have to read up on what I need to report because I think there are deductions if the user detonated the bomb, mis-flagged a bomb, didn’t flag a bomb, etc.

If anything I’ll tally up the score in an
int userScore

Notes on Board
Must be un-resizable, way too much work with images

I made a button 26x26, and the board size 280x380. If you modify the board size, try to keep it in multiples of 10, and let me know, or modify the board how you want and i'll modify buttons to fit.

Grid must be : Jpanel x = new Grid();
