About
Minesweeper is a logic puzzle genre in which players clear a grid of hidden mines, using numeric clues about the count of mines in neighboring tiles to avoid detonating one. tmines is a terminal-based Minesweeper clone for Linux, built in C++11 with the curses library, distributed via packages for Ubuntu, Arch, and Void Linux or buildable from source with CMake, and released under the MIT license.
Getting started
Run the installed program from the terminal to jump straight into a game, with options for fullscreen play, custom board size and mine count, and a fixed random seed; move with WASD, HJKL, or the arrow keys, open a tile with the spacebar, and place a flag with F.
History
The author started the project while waiting on slow Java compile times, after finding that an earlier terminal game they played during such waits wasn't well suited to being paused and resumed like a turn-based game.
