Board Generation:

Board Generation is simple:

• Create an array. This will be the whole board.
• Create more arrays inside the initial array. The amount of arrays will correspond to height I believe.
• Start to put Spaces/Mines in the board.
  • Each Space/Mine on the board will go into the smaller arrays.
  • There will be a "width" amount of Spaces/Mines in each array.
  • Mines are set by RNG (1-10/15, where 1 = Mine, = 6%-10% of a mine in each space).
• If the amount of mines placed last step was less than the amount of mines needed, then go through the board again.
  • If the Mine Count needed is more than spaces on the board, it will create an infinite loop, so make sure there's a check for that.
• After the mines have been placed, place down the numbers.
• Finished!

Board Generation but it's better in every way:

If you want to see the better board generation, then go see the Roblox Lua edition below.
This type of Board Generation makes it so that the player ALWAYS starts on a Zero space, with no mines around.

• Create the Array(s). Similar to normal board generation.
  • Don't place the mines until later.
• Wait until the player picks the first space.
• Once the player picks the first spot, then mark it.
  • This spot and the surrounding spots will be excluded from the generation.
  • You could also mark the other spots around the first spot, and exclude all marked spots.
• Generate the board like normal, but don't allow any mines to generate on the first spot and around it.

Creating lots of Minesweeper.

This is part of a small project to see how many languages I can make Minesweeper in.
It also helps me learn which languages I want to stick with, and what I want to not work with.
This is a list of what I plan to use, or what I've already done.

Deciding

• Lua (OpenComputers [how the hecc do i use this])
• Python (Pygame)
• Java (Unknown)
• JavaScript (Webpage)
• C++ (Unknown)

i tried

• LOLCODE - Reason: No RNG system available.
