G. Conclusions and Recommendations

Minesweeper is a difficult, but enjoyable game for users looking test their minds. The overall goal of the game is to reveal every tile on the grid without clicking on a bomb (a tile with a number of 9 or greater). If the user fails to accomplish this task, they are prompted to start over if they would like. The code for this game shows that Minesweeper was successfully created as presented in the final program demonstration video. Although the game was correctly programmed, there are multiple ways to improve it for future development. Firstly, it is recommended that the game includes a flagging system, where the user is able to flag a bomb tile. The player will then have an easier time keeping track of where bomb tiles are located on the grid. It is also suggested that sprites are utilized in future codes and programs. Sprites will make the game itself easier to follow for the user, and it will also make the program look more visually appealing. Finally, we recommend that a timer is implemented into the program, so the user can see how long it takes to complete the puzzle. Overall, Minesweeper is an incredibly entertaining game that is only going going to improve in the future.
