about tmscli

Philosophy

tmscli started as a fun competition to see whether python or C++ could make minesweeper faster and run smoother, now the python version has been uploaded to PyPi and can be downloaded using pip.

It is inteded to engage people into what coding can get you and should not be used to personal advantage (not sure how, but it's a must say)

Behind the scenes

tmscli is fully python and relies on random to build the minefield

lets take a look at some code

    while True:
        terminal_minesweeper.print_board(board)
        cmd=input()
        cmds=cmd.split()
        if int(cmds[1])>terminal_minesweeper.size or int(cmds[1])<0 or int(cmds[2])>terminal_minesweeper.size or int(cmds[2])<0:
            print('coordinate out of range, please try again')
        if cmds[0]=='uc':
            if (not board[int(cmds[1])-1][int(cmds[2])-1][0]) and (not board[int(cmds[1])-1][int(cmds[2])-1][1]):
                board[int(cmds[1])-1][int(cmds[2])-1][0]=True
                if board[int(cmds[1])-1][int(cmds[2])-1][2]==0:
                    board=terminal_minesweeper.richochet(board,(int(cmds[1])-1,int(cmds[2])-1))
            else:
                print('already uncovered')
        elif cmds[0]=='fl':
            if not board[int(cmds[1])-1][int(cmds[2])-1][1]:
                board[int(cmds[1])-1][int(cmds[2])-1][1]=True
            else:
                print('already flagged')
        elif cmds[0]=='uf':
            if board[int(cmds[1])-1][int(cmds[2])-1][2]:
                board[int(cmds[1])-1][int(cmds[2])-1][0]=False
            else:
                print('already not flagged')
        else:
            print('unrecognised command, please try again')
        terminal_minesweeper.check(board)

This is a rather large chunk of code, and is what the main loop does

as you can see it has three commands, uc, fl, and uf. Each doing something different. If it does not think the input is valid, it will output what it thinks the error is. (May be inaccurate)
