About
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle game genre, usually played on personal computers, in which the player clears a grid of tiles without detonating hidden mines, using clues about neighboring mines. minex is a terminal-based Minesweeper written in Python with the Textual TUI framework, with full mouse support. It has Easy, Medium, Expert and Custom levels, five color themes, sound effects through Pygame, and saved statistics and settings.
How it differs from the original
It runs in a terminal but can still be played with the mouse. It adds five themes (Default, Winter, Desert, Space, Cyberpunk), win-streak and best-time tracking, and a setting for which button chords.
