--dim	int	Dimension of the minesweeper board
--agent	none|basic|advanced|hyper_advanced|bonus_1|bonus_2	Which agent to use
--bomb_count	int	Number of bombs to place randomly across the board
--use_stepping	bool	Whether or not to use wait for input between agent solving steps. Great for debuging
--quit_when_finished	bool	Whether you want pygames window to close when advanced agents are finished

Example

Refer to DEVELOPMENT for how to setup virtualenv

$ source minesweepervenv/bin/activate
$ python3 main.py --agent basic --dim 25 --bomb_count 20

Commands

Game Commands

Key	Function
RETURN	Open tile the agent is currently at
f	Place flag on tile the agent is currently at

Debugging Commands

Key	Function
s	Hold down to highlight bombs
r	Re-initialize board tiles
n	If --use_stepping flag is set, steps the agent forward one step

Development

1. Clone Repository (Do this once)

$ git clone https://github.com/reaganmcf/MineSweeper
$ cd MineSweeper

2. Setup Virtual Environment (Do this once)

• If you don't have venv installed, run the following

  python3 -m pip install --user virtualenv

$ python3 -m venv minesweepervenv

3. Activate Virtual Environemnt (Do this everytime)

source minesweepervenv/bin/activate

4. Install packages (Do this when you're missing new libraries added to requirements.txt)

(minesweepervenv) $ pip install -r requirements.txt

5. Update requirements.txt (Do this whenever you add a new library to the project so the change is reflected on github)

(minesweepervenv) $ pip freeze > requirements.txt
