<p>When I was creating a little Minesweeper game, I got confused at some points.
|
|
|
My bomb generation didn’t look quite right, and I for sure didn’t quite get the whole cascading tile reveal thing.
|
|
|
With a bit of internet research, I found what I was looking for.
|
|
|
I’ll explain it all in one place for my own and others’ purposes.</p>

<h3 id="bomb-generation">Bomb Generation</h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>When I started this project I attempted to use a random bomb generator.
|
|
|
By this I mean on each square, before it gets generated, give it a one in 15 change of being a bomb.
|
|
|
Personally, I’m not sure why this never looked right.
|
|
|
Something about the layout of the bombs did not mimic the classic Minesweeper game.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>After looking at some open source Minesweeper examples, I found the following algorithms:</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
|
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">X = R % W</code></li>
|
|
|
<li><code class="highlighter-rouge">Y = R // H</code></li>
|
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Where % is a [modulo] operator</p>
