60lminesweeper
what?
This is a CLI minesweeper application written in 60 LoC python.
You can use d row,column to dig and f row,column to flag/unflag
okay, but why?
A few days ago I had the following conversation with my friends:
- “I mean, minesweeper is easy, I can do it in 60 lines”
- “Naaaah, it’ll take more lines”
- “I’ll do it in 60 lines of python code, where I can only use 5 instructions per line”
- “OK, do it”
So that’s why
what are the files?
| Filename | Purpose |
|---|---|
| main.py | the program with the most features under 60 LoC |
| main-min.py | the program with the least amount of LoC while having the functionality of the minesweeper |
| main-readable.py | main.py but readable and commented |
| main-min-readable.py | main-min.py but readable and commented |
what are the criteria?
This is arbitrary, but the criteria is the following:
- under 60 LoC
- no base64 packed code
- no eval() or exec()
- no reading other files for code
- no importing other libraries, no
import Xorfrom X import Y - maximum 5 instructions per line, meaning only 4
;per line - features:
- be able to dig
- be able to flag
- can die or win
- display map, but only display digged fields
