Console-MineSweeper - A JetBrains academy project.

The goal of Minesweeper is to uncover all the cells on a grid that do not contain mines without being "blown up" by marking a cell with a mine as a free cell. The location of the mines is discovered through a logical process (but that sometimes results in ambiguity). Choosing a specific cell will reveal what is hidden underneath it (a large number of free cells [bordering 0 mines] may be revealed in one go if they are adjacent to each other). Some cells are free while others contain numbers (from 1 to 8), with each number being the number of mines adjacent to the uncovered cell.

To help the player avoid hitting a mine, the location of a suspected mine can be marked by flagging it as mine. The game is won in two cases:

1. All free and numbered cells have been uncovered by the player without hitting a mine.
2. All mines have been flagged as mine.

Steps of gameplay

1. Player enters number of mines. (i.e. 8)
2. Player enters a cell number with a desired flag in the format of: "row column flag". (i.e 2 1 free) (i.e 9 1 mine)

• Note: flags can be either "free" or "mine"
