A recreation of minesweeper running in the windows command prompt. It includes all the normal gameplay and functionality of minesweeper with ASCII art in the command console.
-
Select difficulty with number keys.
-
Navigate minefield with arrow keys.
-
Flag a square with 'f'.
-
select a square with 'Enter'.
Start off by selecting any square, your first square will never be a bomb, or have any adjacent bombs.
Then notice the numbers. A square that is a number means that in the surrounding 8 squares, there is that many bombs. So a 1 means in the surrounding 8 squares, there is 1 bomb.
Squares that are believed to be bombs can be flagged using f, this is done to help the player in remembering what is a bomb and to avoid accidental selection but flagging is completely optional.
The game is won by selecting all of the squares that are not bombs.
Good Luck!
*If you have never played minesweeper, I recommend starting with a version that is not created with the constraints of the command prompt as it will be easier to see and understand. I recommend trying here.
