Minesweeper
Objective
The object of Minesweeper is to locate all the mines without uncovering any of them. If you uncover a mine, you lose the game. The smallest grid that is usually used for this game is 9 x 9 squares with 10 mines randomly located within the grid.
As squares are uncovered numbers appear on the un-exposed squares that are
next to the exposed squares. These numbers indicate the number of mines
located in the 9 surrounding squares. These numbers can be used to
determine where covered mines are. Squares can be flagged (marked) to
indicate where mines might be. O
nce
all of the mines have been successfully marked, the player wins the game.
Task
Your task is to duplicate this game in java using 2-D array(s). This can be done by using letters (symbols) instead of graphics. The mines should be randomly placed within the grid. You can choose how many mines and the size of grid that you want to use. This could also be decided by the player as a level of difficulty. The game should indicate when a player has lost or won the game with an appropriate message.
To help you with developing this game, you may search for rules, resources and
