For this assignment, you will implement the game minesweeper. This game was made popular by the Windows operating system in the early 1990s, and it has continued to be a pre-installed game until Windows 8. You can watch a video of how to play minesweeper on YouTube or read about it on Wikipedia:

The game is very simple. The object of the game is to open/reveal every cell on the board without detonating a mine. Every cell contains a number or a mine. The numbers tell you how many mines surround the cell in the horizontal, vertical, and diagonal directions, e.g. at most, 8 possible mines surrounding a cell. You can flag a cell, which helps you remember where you think there is a mine to not detonate. If you select to open/reveal a cell that has a mine, then you automatically lose the game!

Our game will be a little different, since we do not have a graphical user interface for clicking. You will run the program providing command-line arguments for the number of rows, columns, and mines in any order. Therefore, the number must be preceded by an option designator, -r for rows, -c for columns, and m for mines.

You will then randomly distribute the mines on the board and setup the numbers describing how many adjacent mines to each cell. After that, you will display a blank board, and ask the user to flag or open a cell on the board until the user selects a cell that contains a mine (losing the game) or selects all cells free of mines (winning the game). After the user wins or loses, you will ask the user if he/she wants to play again.

If so, you must get the number of rows, columns, and mines for the new game and create a new board for a new game. BTW, you can display row and column numbers on board to make it easier to read/know which row and column to select!!!

Example run of a game:

Do you want to play again (1-yes, 2-no): 2

Requirements for game:

You must provide a usage message, if the user enters incorrect command-line arguments

You must not have functions over 15-20 lines long (-10 automatically)

You must not use global variables (-10 automatically)

You must ask the user if he/she wants to play again

(If no, then end.

If yes, then prompt for rows, cols, and mines for new game.)

You must not have any memory leaks (-10 automatically)

You must detect these errors:

(Invalid row or column to flag or open

Opening a cell that has already been opened)

Extra Credit: Recursively open all cells adjacent to 0 cell

If the user selects a cell that has no mines surrounding it, then you will help the user by recursively opening all adjacent cells to empty cells, until you reach cells with a surround mine.
