Minesweeper Game

A minesweeper game similar to the one in Windows, but implemented in pure MATLAB

Description

Consider playing minesweeper in Matlab? Here's what you might want to look at.

I implement a minesweeper game with pure MatLab language. It basically imitates the minesweeper in Microsoft Windows. You can open a cell by left clicking and tag a cell as mine by right clicking. You can switch between three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced. There's also a timer to measure the time that you take to complete the game.

The usage is very simple. Copy the m-file (there's only one m-file) to anywhere that you like. Just type in

minesweepgame;

then you can start the game. Or you can type in

minesweepgame beginner;
minesweepgame intermediate;
minesweepgame advanced;

to start a game at desired level. You can also switch between different levels in the GUI.

In addition, you can also play a customized game, i.e. when you enter

minesweepgame(20, 25, 50);

you start a game with 50 mines in a 20 x 25 field.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)

It appears to require the Statistics Toolbox (Undefined function or method 'randsample')

MATLAB ships with its own minesweeper demo program as well: xpbombs
