During my Computer Science certificate program, I created my own C++ version of a time old classic - Minesweeper.  This version of minesweeper is just like the original, but with customization.  Don't like the colors of the original?  No worries - you can change the colors, the time you have to sweep, and even the grid size.

​

Not sure what colors you like?  There are a few themes you can choose from - complete with sounds for each win...or lose, their own individual mines, and there is one that has a little bit extra.

​

There are options to view the amount of time you've played, as well as keep an eye on the timer for those who like a challenge.  Grid size, mines, and revealed tiles are viewable at the bottom.  The optional, toggleable HUD gives the play time as well as a count of tiles you have flagged.  And, if you want to get through a troublesome level - you have the option to save it and come back to it over and over and over again.

​

If you would like to see the C++ version in action, click the gif to the right.  If you'd like to take it for a spin - at the link below is a version I switched from C++ to C# and Unity.  This version has no HUD or save options, but it is mobile friendly!
