This was my attempt to recreate Minesweeper. Once I got the basic game complete I decided to over-engineer it and split the UI out from the gameplay. So what I ended up with is a stand-alone minesweeper gameplay library and the ability to wrap arbitrary UIs around it. I'm quite pleased with the result. The first UI (see ./src/classic/) was a clone of the original version. But once I had the gameplay lib I decided to see what other UIs I could make. It's not the most creative attempt ever, but ultimately I created a text version of the game. Unlike the original it isn't timed and scores based on fewest moves.
