Minesweeper

Minesweeper is a one player puzzle game that was often preinstalled with older versions of Windows. The goal of the game is to clear a grid of squares, one at a time, trying to avoid any squares that have hidden mines. Upon clearing a square, a number may appear which tells how many mines are adjacent to the given square. Selecting a square containing a mine results in an instant loss, while revealing all non$-$mine squares results in a win. There are still versions of this game around, like this one made by Google.

Minesweeper Rules

For this assignment, we are going to simplify some of the rules of the original game while still keeping the core of the game intact. Instead of clicking on squares your program will be given coordinates. The primary gameplay loop is going to be generating coordinates to a square on the board upon which the square is revealed. There are two possibilities for what a square can contain.

If a $"x"$ is revealed, this is a mine which results in an instant loss.

Otherwise, an integer is revealed, which is the number of adjacent $($including diagonally$)$ mines from the revealed square $($including $0,$ which is handled differently by the original game$).$ All integers around the given coordinates are also revealed $($the mines remain hidden$).$
