Dependencies

The project only depends on the curses library, which should be installed by default on almost all Linux distros.

Winbl*ws users can go cry inside a hole.

Installation

Simply clone the repository, cd into it and run minesweeper.py

git clone https://github.com/BillyDoesDev/minesweeper.git
cd minesweeper
python minesweeper.py

Usage

usage: minesweeper.py [-h] [-v] [-r rows] [-c colums] [-m mines]

CLI Minesweeper written in Python3

options:
  -h, --help     show this help message and exit
  -v, --version  show program's version number and exit
  -r rows        Number of rows in the grid [Defaults to 10]
  -c colums      Number of columns in the grid [Defaults to 10]
  -m mines       Total number of mines [Defaults to 10].
                 If you set an abnormal value, the program 
                 will try to normalise the number of mines on its own.

Note:

The program will throw an error if the window is too small for your entered board size. To fix it, either resize your terminal window, or reduce the board size.

Modern problems require modern solutions
(Yeah, I'm not going for a try catch hell, or doing something that fixes your stupid inputs. Cry about it.)

Bonus

Want to get a quick minesweeper game for you to play on discord? Say no more-

R,C,M=10,10,10
h,m=0,__import__("random").sample([(r,c)for c in range(C)for r in range(R)],min(R*C-1,M))
b=[['*'if(r,c)in m else''for c in range(C)]for r in range(R)]
for r in range(R):
    for c in range(C):
        if b[r][c]:print("||:boom:||",end="");continue
        if not(k:=sum([len(b[r+r_][c+c_])for c_ in(-1,0,1)for r_ in(-1,0,1)if 0<=r+r_<R and 0<=c+c_<C]))and not h:print("\U0001f7e6",end="");h=1
        else:print(f"||{k}\ufe0f\u20e3||"if k else"||\U0001f7e6||",end="")
    print()

What you see up there is a quick (kinda code-golf like) script that generates a minesweeper board.
R, C and M represent the number of rows, columns and total mines respectively.
Simply copy and paste the output and enjoy!
