Inspired by a minesweeper game on my graphing calculator, I decided to create this version that you can play directly in your terminal. I originally started this project as an Easter egg project to embed into another Python script. This implementation is written in Python and uses numpy
under the hood. While it is called ascii-minesweeper
, it actually does use a few characters not in the ASCII character set. Hope you enjoy playing!
pip install ascii-minesweeper
In order to run the program from the terminal, you can type:
minesweeper
Otherwise, you can also launch the program from another Python script as an Easter egg like this:
from minesweeper import PlayMinesweeper
play = PlayMinesweeper()
play.launch_game()
- Arrow keys or WASD - Moves the cursor
- Space - Mark a square as a flag, question mark, or back to hidden
- Enter - Select a square to uncover
- Backspace or CTRL-C - Returns to main menu
