Console Minesweeper

Explanation

Bored of graphics? Annoyed with easy to use interfaces? Prefer to spend longer typing than clicking? Then Console Minesweeper is for you!

I wrote this mainly to increase my knowledge of Visual Basic 2005. It's not meant to be a serious rival to the normal Minesweeper game, it's just an alternative way of playing it.

Download

Console Minesweeper requires the Microsoft .Net Framework V2.0, you can obtain that from the Windows Update site.

The download includes the code (written in VB2005), the license (GNU GPL) and the application. If you want to change the size of the board, specify a number between 5 and 26 as the first argument.
