Minesweeper Game

This is a simple implementation of the classic Minesweeper game using Python's Tkinter library. The game allows players to explore a grid, revealing cells and avoiding mines.

How to Play

1. Run the script (minesweeper.py).
2. Enter the number of rows, columns, and mines when prompted.
3. Left-click on cells to reveal them.
4. If you reveal a mine, the game is over.
5. The number on a revealed cell indicates the number of adjacent mines.
6. The goal is to reveal all cells without hitting a mine.

Code Structure

The code is organized into a class MinesweeperGUI that handles the game's logic and a function play_minesweeper_gui to start the game.

MinesweeperGUI Class

• Initialization: Initializes the game with the specified number of rows, columns, and mines.
• generate_mines: Randomly places mines on the board.
• calculate_numbers: Calculates the number of adjacent mines for each cell.
• create_board: Creates the game board with buttons using Tkinter.
• reveal_cell: Reveals a cell when clicked, handles game over if a mine is revealed, and recursively reveals empty cells.
• reveal_empty_cells: Recursively reveals adjacent empty cells.
• reveal_all: Reveals all cells when the game is over.

play_minesweeper_gui Function

• Tkinter Setup: Creates the Tkinter window and gets input for the number of rows, columns, and mines.
• Game Initialization: Creates an instance of MinesweeperGUI.
• Mainloop: Enters the Tkinter main loop to run the game.

Dependencies

• Python 3
• Tkinter (usually included with Python)
