A minimalistic Ruby implementation for the classic minesweeper game.

In case you don't know, the objective is to reveal the content of all the squares without a mine.

It comes conveniently packaged as a gem:

gem install minesweeper-cli

From the command line:

minesweeper

To get some help and options:

minesweeper -h

By default it's a 10x5 grid, with 3 hidden mines.

Enter the position of the square you want to reveal, by typing the coordinates Y and X. Eg:

2,3

…and press enter.

The origin 0, 0 is at the leftmost top corner, marked in the diagram below as O. And 2, 3 would be the square marked as X:

O....
.....
...X.
.....

The game ends either once you reveal all the squares, or hit a mine. In any case, the program ends and you'll be notified in Engrish.
