This is a small toy I made just for fun, when I was a high school student. And now, I'm trying to make it better(maybe).

• Set rows/cols of the minefield before starting the game.
• The number of mines was also random (what a surprise).
• termios-based key handling.
• Support for 16 colors by using ANSI escape sequences.

• Started using NCurses library for key handling and 256 colors support.

• Converted the source codes into C++11. 🎉

• Improve mine-planting algorithm

  • Now the number of mines is constant at every minefield at same dimension.

    The ratio of mines (R) is determined by following formula:
    (n is the number of total cells, i.e., rows * cols)

    

• The elapsed time is displayed in seconds when the game is over.

• Display the leaderboard before/after the arcade mode games.
• Players can save their names if they cleared the arcade mode games with high scores.

• Fancier leaderboards and the name input screen.

• The score data file (scores.dat) is locked when a process is reading data from/writing data to that file.

• Fixed key handling issues.
