Question

There are a number of changes that we need to make:

1) We need to take the board size (width and height) as command line parameters. If these are not specified, we should print out a message informing the user how to call the program.

2) We need to initialize a game board. Allocate memory, decide if each square has bombs, and count the squares surrounding that have bombs.

3) We need to free the game board. Because we need the game board everywhere, it makes sense to make it a global variable.

4) We need to change the update of the world state to set squares as revealed and check to see if a square has a bomb to determine if the game ends or not. Squares should be flagged or unflagged if the user chooses those options.

Here is some sample output:

Setting up the game

(F) flag a spot as a mine, (R) remove a flag, (A) assert that a spot is mine free, (Q)uit

A

Enter your horizontal coordinate (0 - 9) and press enter

5

Enter your vertical coordinate (0 - 9) and press enter

5

OK!

(F) flag a spot as a mine, (R) remove a flag, (A) assert that a spot is mine free, (Q)uit

(F) flag a spot as a mine, (R) remove a flag, (A) assert that a spot is mine free, (Q)uit

A

Enter your horizontal coordinate (0 - 9) and press enter

4

Enter your vertical coordinate (0 - 9) and press enter

4

OK!

(F) flag a spot as a mine, (R) remove a flag, (A) assert that a spot is mine free, (Q)uit

(F) flag a spot as a mine, (R) remove a flag, (A) assert that a spot is mine free, (Q)uit

A

Enter your horizontal coordinate (0 - 9) and press enter

3

Enter your vertical coordinate (0 - 9) and press enter

3

BOOM!!!

Destroying the game

the program is

#include <stdio.h>
   int array[10][10];
   int horizontal;
   int vertical;
    int letter;
void initialization(){
printf("Setting up the game:\n");
}
// to start the game

void teardown(){
   printf("Destorying the game");
}
// the teardown part to clear the gameboard

void input(){  
   printf("Enter your horizontal coordinate (0 - 10) and press enter");
   scanf("%d",& horizontal);
   printf("Enter your vertical coordinate (0 - 10) and press enter");
   scanf("%d",& vertical);
}
// to accept the input letter

void update(){
int *x, *y;
x = &horizontal;
y = &vertical;
}

void display(){  
if((array[horizontal][vertical] == array[0][0]))
   printf("BOOM\n");
   else
   printf("OK!\n");
}
// to display the input to the gameboard and determined if is boom or ok

int main(){
   initialization();
  
   do{ //start a loop
  
   printf("(F)Flag a square:\n(R)unflag a square:\n(A)assert that the square is bomb-free:\n(Q)quit the game:\n");
   // to ask what move you want to da
   scanf("%c",&letter);
  
   if((letter=='F')||(letter=='f'))
   {
   input();
   display();
   }  
   else if((letter=='R')||(letter=='r'))

{
   input();
   display();
   }
  
   else if((letter=='A')||(letter=='a'))  
  
   {
   input();
   display();
   }
} while((letter !='Q')||(letter !='q'));
// to destroy the game
teardown();

}
