curses-minesweeper

This is a minesweeper game written with Zig using curses.

If you have apt, you can install most of the dependencies and download the code like this:

$ sudo apt install git wget libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev gcc
$ git clone https://github.com/Akuli/curses-minesweeper
$ cd curses-minesweeper

Then download zig 0.13.0 and move it to the curses-minesweeper directory, and run this:

$ tar xf zig-linux-SOMETHING.tar.xz         (use autocompletion)
$ mv zig-linux-SOMETHING zig                (use autocompletion)

Now you can compile and run the project.

$ zig/zig build

Run the game:

$ zig-out/bin/curses-minesweeper

Add --help for more options.

FAQ

I can't get it to work!

Create an issue. I'll try to help.

Why did you write a minesweeper game?

Because it's fun.

Does it work on Windows?

No, but Windows comes with a minesweeper. Windows command prompt and powershell are kind of awful anyway, and you probably want to use GUI applications instead of them whenever possible.
