This program is my remake of game Minesweeper as a console application written in C. User choose dimensions of board of fields and a number of mines randomly set in fields. Then, user can open a field specified by coordinates or set flag to mark risky field. When user open field where mine is set, the rest of mines wiil be displayed on board and game is over. If user open an empty field, a count of mines surrounded by that field will be displayed, and if there are no mines surrounding a field, then all fields around will be opened. When all fields with no mines are open, then user solved mine board and game is over.
Game starts with entering dimensions of board (number of rows and columns) and number of mines
Enter board dimensions (1 < row <= 16, 1 < col <= 76) and number of mines (0 < n < row * col): 6 6 4
Example: Creating a board of 6 rows, 6 columns and 4 mines inside
Then, game is created and program display board with horizontal ruler (number 5 in first row, shows current column number) and vertical ruler (numbers on left side, show current row number) and fields.
