Minesweeper.py

# Minesweeper game created by ChatGPT
# This script will:
# 1. Initialize a board of the size you specify and randomly populate it with mines.
# 2. Compute and fill in the numbers for the remaining cells based on the number of mines in the surrounding cells.
# 3. Begin the game loop, where the player can enter coordinates to "dig" at.
# 4. If the player hits a mine, the game ends with a game over message. If the player hits a number or an empty cell, it reveals it and the game continues.
#
# This is a very basic version of the game, it doesn't track the number of moves or check if the player has cleared all the non-mine spaces, but it provides a good starting point if you want to expand on it.
