Minesweeper Java Applet

Minesweeper is a single player video game. The object of the game is to clear an abstract minefield without detonating a mine - [Wikipedia] 1

Example

To see a web example of this codebase, go to http://www.kangarooit.com/minesweeper/ (with Java Applet support in your browser) and click the 'Launch Minesweeper' Button

Project inspiration

This Minesweeper applet was built from scratch during uni summer holidays in 2000 to play with Java & AWT (Java Swing was not a package installed by default in web browsers). All the button implementations, game logic and everything is coded into the applet - the Board.java algorithms were lots of fun!

The graphics were all cut-up screenshots of Minesweeper on the Windows 2000 box.

Running this codebase

Hasn't been done in 10 years but probably something along the lines of:

$ cd src
$ javac -classpath .;"C:\Program Files\Netscape\Communicator\Program\java\classes\java40.jar"; HighScores.java
$ javac Minesweeper.java
$ jar -cvf Minesweeper.jar *.class *.gif *.jpg *.wav *.au

Codebase thoughts

In the year 2000 the GUI capabilities of Java Applets were well ahead of their time.

This codebase is understandably a bit messy - being a university project and having been built with very little programming experience.
