Mines

A minesweeper clone in the terminal, written in Elixir.

I built this to learn Elixir and as an exercise in test-driven development.

Build

Mines is meant to be run as a standalone BEAM executable:

mix escript.build

Play

To play the game with default settings, run:

./mines

Currently, you can also pass two arguments to the game:

./mines --size 10 --mines 12

Controls

• The arrow keys move the cursor. The cursor wraps around the edges of the board.
• The space bar reveals a cell.
• The 'b' key toggles marking a cell as a bomb.
• Control-C exits the game. (You'll probably need to call reset afterwards.)
