rlspr

Simple (yet feature-rich) clone of classic Minesweeper game.
Created with Raylib, written in C99.
Try it out at: https://stacc.itch.io/rlspr

BUILDING

Requires either POSIX or MinGW environment, with GNU/make and git:

$ git clone https://github.com/sleeptightAnsiC/rlspr --depth 1 --recursive --recurse-submodules --shallow-submodules
$ cd rlspr
$ make

GOALs

• Trying out raylib and testing its portability, building it for multiple systems and WEB (initial goal)
• Implementing most of the features from other Minesweeper clones and the original ones
• Keeping the code as small as possible (if some feature would require a lot of code changes, it's out of the scope)

NON-GOALs

• Better looks (polished functionality is the goal, not polished visuals)
• Proper menus for changing options, keybindings, themes, colors, etc. (although, I may provide simple intermediate GUI for changing difficulty, see TODOs)

NOTEs

• I implemented everything from the scratch, without any tutorials or guides. This is my take on Minesweeper implementation.
• Although, I did NOT peek at any Minesweeper's implementation details, I referenced to this page for the design details: https://minesweeper-pro.com/introduction/

TODOs

• Provide UI for changing difficulty and few core options (functionality is already there, just front-end is missing)
• Provide automatic resolution scaling
• (in far future) replace current draw pass with GLSL shader
• (in far future) once again, try to build raylib through raw C code, without using Makefile

FIXMEs

• make CFLAGS='' will cause raylib build to fail (this is more of an issue with raylib Makefile)
• Although, I haven't prepared any mobile support, the WEB version can be started from mobile web browser, but it will NOT work properly. This should be either prevented or fixed by implementing gestures.
• If a flag/question mark gets placed before starting the game, it will disappear upon revealing the first cell (this is caused by "safe first try" feature and there are multiple ways to fix it)
