#MULTIPLAYER MINESWEEPER CODE#

For this user interface, I already have a template for the majority of the individual boards. That means I just need to develop the specifics that are unique to this application and then I need to wire it into my user interface.

#MULTIPLAYER MINESWEEPER CODE#

Most of the code is already written for the other applications that I am developing (I'm developing a central library for all my apps). I identified what features I wanted and what technologies I wanted to maximize. To build this application, I first mapped it out. When yo start playing, you will find that you develop layers of strategy that go well beyond the basics. That is the basics of playing Multiplayer Minesweeper. Push hard to get that board cleared before the next event. Keep an eye on the timer as well: once that hits zero, an event is going to occur. If you see someone pulling ahead or if you find yourself slipping behind everyone else, trigger an event to give you an advantage. Keep an eye on where you are in relation to your friends. When the match starts, start clearing the board like you would in a single-player game.

Next to each board is a countdown timer, your remaining lives, your score, your current place (based upon points), the number of flags you have placed (not necessarily how many mines you have found), how many flags everyone else has placed, and a section for triggering a manual event. Starting out, up to four people grab a board on the screen. Laughs of joy, screams of frustration, and shouts of triumph will ensue. Put the AIO on the table, gather around, and let the competition begin. Multiplayer Minesweeper is a fun game for with friends.

Racing to the finish? Get a sneak peek at your mines. See that someone else is close to finishing? Trigger the board switch to buy yourself some time.

Manual Events - Use one of your remaining lives to trigger the event of your choice.

Want to mess up your opponents? Trigger a manual event first and reset the timer.

Timed Random Events - Watch the countdown timer to see when the next random event will occur.

If everyone runs out of lives, the points leader is the winner. Second through fourth place is determined by points. The first person to complete their map wins the game.

Awarding the Winner - Points are awarded for uncovering safe spaces.

Once a player hits zero lives, they are done playing. Triggering manual events or clicking on a bomb reduces your lives by one.

Limited Lives - Each player gets three lives.

All numbers will be re-adjusted accordingly. Mine switch randomly re-arranges the mines in the space that is left. The sneak peek shows either one person (in manual mode) or everyone (in random mode) a two second glimpse of where the mines are. The uncovered spaces are reset but the flags are left in place (even the ones that mark spaces that are not mines - do I sense a strategy here?). The board switch event randomly reassigns each board to a different player.

Events - Events keep the game interesting.

Up to 4 Players - Utilizing the large screen size, each player gets their own Minesweeper board.Mulitplayer Minesweeper has the following features: Board switching, moving mines, and laying traps for your friends is just some of the craziness that will ensue. Grab your friends and jump into a fast-paced, competitive match where anything can happen. That is what Multiplayer Minesweeper is all about. Minesweeper by yourself is a decent time-waster, but it could really use a boost in fun.
