About
They say a minesweeper makes only two mistakes in their life: the first is their choice of occupation, and the second one is fatal. In this project, you will create your own, safe "Minesweeper" – a game that will be a brain teaser for both you and your players.
Graduate project
This project covers the core topics of the Kotlin Core course, making it sufficiently challenging to be a proud addition to your portfolio.
At least one graduate project is required to complete the course.
What you'll learn
Once you choose a project, we'll provide you with a study plan that includes all the necessary topics from your course to get it built. Here’s what awaits you:
Generate your first game field with mines!
Let the user enter the number of mines in the game field.
Check how many mines are around.
Implement the rules of the game.
Be a real sapper. Find all the mines.

This was a great project. I learned to design a data structure that could efficiently address the challenges of the game. I also had to design code that was readable and that could address the variety of user inputs and results during the game.

It was very interesting and exciting. The project is quite complex, which is probably why I enjoyed doing it so much.

It was fun. Not much learning, but. These projects are made more difficult than they need to be by not being able to write tests alongside them. Also, the specs are kind of deficient in places, in that the checks expect things that are not specified.
