An implementation of Minesweeper in Ruby.

> git clone https://github.com/chigginsiii/minesweeper.git
> cd minesweeper
> bundle

to start:

> bin/minesweeper

Options:
  -r, --rows=<i>       Number of rows (default: 12)
  -c, --cols=<i>       Number of columns (default: 10)
  -m, --mines=<i>      Number of mines (default: 20)
  -i, --interactive    Set up games/board interactively
  -h, --help           Show this message

> bin/minesweeper -i
Number of rows [12]: 13
Number of cols [10]:
Number of mines [20]: 25

After that, you can play that board over and over again.

(f)lag, (s)elect, arrow keys to move, (r)estart, (q)uit.

Benchsweeper solves minesweeper games and provides metrics on timing, wins, and losses.

The solver's strategy is:

1. find revealed cells with a number equal to the number of hidden adjacent squares: flag those
2. find revealed cells with a number equal to the number of flagged adjacent squares: reveal those
3. if nothing changed from 1 and 2, find a revealed cell with the lowest adjacent-mines number and randomly pick a hidden adjacent cell
4. if nothing changed from 3, pick a random hidden

Tactics 1 and 2 are the most reliable, 3 is the least risky, and 4 is what it is. So if the board changes after any step, the loop starts over from the top.

> bin/benchsweeper

Options:
  -g, --games=<i>      Number of games to run (default: 100)
  -r, --rows=<i>       Number of rows (default: 10)
  -c, --cols=<i>       Number of columns (default: 10)
  -m, --mines=<i>      Number of mines (default: 10)
  -b, --boards         output board results
  -i, --interactive    Set up games/board interactively
  -h, --help           Show this message

Running benchsweeper with the --boards option will show the result of each game, the running total of wins/games-played, and that game's time. Otherwise you get a progress bar and stats at the end.
