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.

I have learned flood fill algorithm and recursion with recursive thinking. I also think about that, is my solution efficient with big data sets? The answer is no but i will surely learn about scalable algorithms and solutions.

This was a fun project, and I found myself doing parts of stages 2 and 3 during stage 1 because it seemed like things were incomplete and would need to be addressed later. Blew up the stack once with a bad check for bottoming out of a recursive search. Still getting a feel for when to use repeat on ...
