go-mines

a Minesweeper clone written in Go using the ebiten game library

Left-Click: clear tile
Right-Click: flag tile
Space: new game

This started out as an exercise to test mouse interaction. While already playable, this is pretty much work-in-progress.

Precompiled binaries can be found under "Releases".

To build it you need a recent golang environment and ebiten with all its dependencies. See [https://github.com/hajimehoshi/ebiten] and [https://ebiten.org/install.html] for installation instructions.

ToDo:

• automatically clear zero-valued tiles and surroundings when clicked
• find better ways to reduce ebiten's CPU usage
• inform the player when the game is won
• make board and number of mines configurable
• add graphics for mines and flagpoles
• when calling ebiten.SetScreenSize() the screen blacks out for a split second. - Is there a way around this, eg. setting a solid color other than black?
