Sweepy

Created February 27, 2023

Description

When creating my programming language Halp/Halp++
I wanted to test it out by creating a simple game
Previously I created a multiplayer minesweeper using node so
creating minesweeper in terminal would be fun.

Solution

Ncurses was the primary option to create a game in the terminal.
Since Halp/Halp++ compiles to c/c++ it's easy to look at c++ docs.

Result

Looking back

A while after I built this I created a ncurses gui library for Halppp that allows for layouts and more
which could've simplified the process of drawing the grid and menu.
Really good for some relaxing minesweeper
