InfiniSweep

ci

InfiniSweep is a clone of the famous Minesweeper game written in Haskell. It features an infinite grid which means that a game could (in theory) go on forever.

This game is played in a terminal using ncurses to render it.

Download static binary

Download latest release, make executable and then play!

For example:

wget https://github.com/basile-henry/infinisweep/releases/download/v1.0.0/infinisweep-x86_64-linux-static
chmod +x infinisweep-x86_64-linux-static

How to play

With the following options:

Usage: infinisweep [-a|--auto-open] [-d|--density PERCENT]

Available options:
  -h,--help                Show this help text
  -a,--auto-open           Open cells automatically (as per flags/markers)
  -d,--density PERCENT     Density of the minefield, as a percentage

When a cell in the grid is opened it either contains a mine and therefore explodes (Game Over) or will show the player the number of mines in the neighbouring cells (there are 8 neighbouring cells).

  • To move around the grid use:
  • Arrow keys (←, ↑, ↓, →)
  • W, A, S, D
  • HJKLYUBN (H - left, J - down, K - up, L - right, Y - up left, U - up right, B - down left, N - down right)
  • Number pad (1 - down left, 2 - down, 3 - down right, 4 - left, 6 - right, 7 - up left, 8 - up, 9 - up right, 5 - mark, 0 - open)
  • Press space or 0 to open a cell.
  • Press M, E, or 5 to mark a cell (if you think it contains a mine).
  • Press Q to quit the game.
  • Press R to start a new game.

If an open cell is satisfied (the number of mines the cell indicates matches the number of markers) you can click it (with space) and it will open all the remaining closed cells surrounding it that aren't marked. If you select the auto mode this behaviour is completely automated.
