Axe Minesweeper
« on: August 29, 2010, 08:42:50 pm »
I'm going to try to make a minesweeper game using Axe.

Some more interesting features that I'm going to try to include are an undo button, multiple high scores, customizable field size and mine amount, and grayscale.

Although, I'm not too sure about the grayscale one - I've tried to make one, but artistically, it kind of sucks.  It's a bit dull, and doesn't really enhance the gameplay at this time.

Currently, I have a crude mockup and am working on the basic mechanics.

I've attached a gif of what I have so far - obviously, it's far from complete, but my code seems to be placing the mines if not the numbers correctly.  (Although, oddly, it places more mines then it should).

Yes, this looks great.  Hope you get everything worked out.
The greyscale looks good, too.

Excellent!  Don't forget to have the "smiley face" wear sunglasses when the player wins the game!  Like this: 8)

Muhahaha!
My program now adds in the numbers correctly!  It also displays exactly how many mines I want (which is 16, at the moment).

@Hot_Dog:
Sunglasses?  Hmm, I'll try that, but it's difficult to draw add sunglasses when I have only 8 by 8 pixels.  Maybe I'll try using a bigger circle.

Man, that's a sweet screenshot!  I might actually play this minesweeper game!

This looks pretty sweet. I'll be sure to play it when it's done :)

Glad to see you make more programs

I've added flags, the question mark thing, and am currently working on getting the revealed squares to expand when I click on a blank one.  It isn't working!  
Or maybe it's just really slow - either way, the code (and I) am unhappy.

Whatever the case, nice work on the flags and question mark!  Although, I've never had to use the question mark...

You're going to have to use some sort of flood-filling algorithm for this.

You may want to check some TI-BASIC source code for minesweeper games. There are some nice ones in Omnimaga archives, if you want to check for flood filling algorithms. Hopefully it is not too hard to translate to Axe code. Good luck!

Hmmmm flood fill eh?  I have written quite a few of those in my time, PM me if you want some detailed descriptions :) I will have to see how they translate to a minesweeper game tho...
