This is the classic game of Minesweeper, written in C++ using SFML.

To get into the game, simply download minesweeper.exe from the releases tab and will be ready to play out of the box. The game is primarily built for Windows and may or may not work on Mac or Linux (though I intend to add support later).

Click on the smiley face to start a new game. The playing field starts as a grid of unopened tiles, left click on a tile to reveal it. If the tile shows a number, there are that many mines in the surrounding 8 tiles. You can right click a tile to flag it if you think there is a mine there.

The goal of the game is to reveal all tiles without mines, or flag all the mines. Be careful, if you reveal a tile with a mine, it is game over!

Press esc to open/close the menu. These are the options available:

• Zoom enabled - Enable/disable zooming (scroll to zoom, click and drag to pan)
• Chording enabled - Enable/disable chording with left-click (see chording)
• Game width/height* - Change the width/height of the playing field
• Number of bombs* - Change the number of mines on the field
• Automatic opening - Automatically open a zero tile when creating a new game
• Show game stats - Show extra information about the current game. Currently the available stats are:
  • 3BV - The theoretical minimum amount of clicks to beat the current game, without flagging or chording
  • TpS - Tiles revealed per second
