I am making a minesweeper clone/adaption and was wondering what people thought of it and if they had any good ideas. Here is what I have so far:

---------------
-Metal Sweeper-
---------------

Created by Broan (aka Antonia Brown) using PP256 and RelLib

---------------

Metal Sweeper is a adaption of the MineSweeper. You are a daring

entrapreneur who wishs to collect the gold from the land. However the

gold is scattered across a minefield. The aim is to collect the gold

while advoiding the mines.

To do this you have your trusty metal detector. Lets get sweeping!

---------------
-BUTTONS-
---------------
- New Game
- Starts a new game duh.
N - Next Level
- Goes to next level. If you haven't completed the level you are on

completly you lose a life.
S - Disabled ( to be save to score buttons in next version)
Q - Quit
- Quits the game
? - Help

---------------

Numbers when you dig up land indicates the metal reading of the

surrounding squares. NOT the number of mines or gold. Also the metal

sweeper only a a reading range of 8.


Mines - have a metal rating of 1

Dud mines - Found in later levels have a metal rating of 1
- They are worth 20 points for scrap metal

Gold - Has a metal rating of 2
- They are worth 100 points

Plus you get 5 points for every safe step taken and a level completed

bonuses.

For every 2000 points you get a new life up to the value of 3.

I am about 1/4 of the way through.http://[/url][url]

If you need the code to unveil the mines without running in a stack overflow error ask me

Hmm thanks. I'll try it myself but if I get into trouble I'll definately ask, Thanks.

There must be another way rather than recursion...or maybe there isn't.

Well I got it up to the one level stage now basically. I haven't got the help or save/scores button working yet either. But I suppose thats enough to make a demo out of. Please keep in mind when you see/use this that I am just a begginer/itemediate programmer.

Look who's talking, will ya?
I love recursion...but I'm so bad at it...
