Minesweeper

A console-based implementation of the classic Minesweeper game, built entirely in C.

This project provides a simple yet complete version of the Minesweeper game, playable directly in the terminal. It is an excellent example of a C program that uses structures, 2D arrays, and fundamental algorithms to create an interactive application.

✨ Features

• Classic Gameplay: A standard 8x8 grid with 10 hidden mines.
• Intuitive Controls: Reveal cells and place/remove flags with simple keyboard commands.
• Recursive Reveal: Automatically reveals all adjacent empty cells when you click on a cell with zero surrounding mines, just like the original game.
• Win/Loss Detection: The game clearly indicates when you've hit a mine (game over) or successfully cleared the board (victory).
• Dynamic Mine Placement: Mines are randomly placed at the start of each game to ensure a new challenge every time.

🚀 How to Run

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [your-repo-url]

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd minesweeper

3. Compile the code using a C compiler (like GCC):

   gcc -o minesweeper minesweeper.c

4. Run the executable:

   ./minesweeper

▶️ How to Play

The game will print the board to the console.

• To reveal a cell, enter the row and column numbers separated by a space (e.g., 3 4).
• To place or remove a flag, enter F followed by the row and column (e.g., F 3 4).
