freesweep Description

freesweep project is a curses-based minesweeper. freesweep project is a curses-based minesweeper written in C for *nix.The ncurses library is preferred, but standard System V curses will work almost perfectly. Features include boards up to 1024x1024 and saving & loading of boards. Planned features include mouse support through ncurses, shared and individual "best times" files, and color.Soon after being exposed to Unix, a shortcoming in terminal games was evident. The lab was short on machines running or hosting X windows, and as an avid player on minesweeper-styled games, I found it impossible to believe that there was no variant of the game for terminals.Fortunately, being Unix, a solution was rapidly forthcoming. I could write it myself.Here are some key features of "freesweep":· Color on supported terminals. · Boards can be exported as PPM images, to show progress. Here's a sample. · Board size independent of terminal size. · Support for boards up to an arbitrary size - currently 1024x1024 · Saving and loading of game files. · Much better file formats with conversion from previous format. · Another programmer - my friend Psilord · Looping of games until explicit quit. · Reasonable compilation and play under SysV curses. · Customizable alerts - beep, flash, or none. · The GNU GPLWhat's New in This Release:· Fixed build for Cygwin32 platform· Changed strings.h to string.h , and added maintainer-clean to Makefile.in
