A clone of the classic Minesweeper game.

This is one of the first programs I wrote. The code is written in C and uses SDL2 for handling the graphics and the mouse input. The game has been tested to run on both Windows and Linux.

A compiled release is available here: https://github.com/AlfonsoJLuna/minesweeper/releases

1. Clone this repository:

git clone https://github.com/AlfonsoJLuna/minesweeper

2. Install SDL2 development libraries. For example, on Ubuntu:

sudo apt-get install libsdl2-dev

3. Go to the repository folder:

cd minesweeper

4. Compile the program:

gcc source/minesweeper.c -Wall -std=c99 `sdl2-config --cflags --libs` -o minesweeper

5. Run the program:

./minesweeper

1. Clone or download this repository.
2. Download and install the mingw-w64 toolchain. Prebuilt binaries are available here. Be sure you check Add to PATH during installation.
3. Download the SDL2 development libraries for MinGW and extract them to minesweeper/libraries/SDL2-2.0.12/...
4. Open a command prompt and go to the repository folder.
5. Compile the program:

gcc source/minesweeper.c -Ilibraries/SDL2-2.0.12/x86_64-w64-mingw32/include/SDL2 -Llibraries/SDL2-2.0.12/x86_64-w64-mingw32/lib -Wall -std=c99 -m64 -Wl,-subsystem,windows -lmingw32 -lSDL2main -lSDL2 -o minesweeper.exe

6. Copy the SDL2.dll file from minesweeper/libraries/SDL2-2.0.12/x86_64-w64-mingw32/bin/ to minesweeper/.
7. Run the program: minesweeper.exe
