Pull Request: Add GUI-Based Minesweeper Game

Description

This pull request introduces a GUI-based Minesweeper game implemented in Java (Adding a new game called Minesweeper in java), complete with an interactive interface that allows players to reveal cells, flag potential mines, and attempt to clear the board without triggering a mine. This addition brings a visually engaging version of the classic game to the project.

Features Added

1. Interactive 9x9 Game Board:

   • A 9x9 grid with 10 randomly placed mines, following the traditional Minesweeper format.
   • Players can click to reveal cells or right-click to flag suspected mines.

2. Emoji Enhancements:

   • Mines: Mines are displayed as "*" emojis when revealed after a game loss, adding visual feedback.
   • Flagged Cells: Players can mark suspected mines with a "..." by right-clicking on a cell, enhancing the visual appeal of flagged cells.

3. Game Mechanics:

   • Cell Revealing: Reveals adjacent cells automatically if a cell has no neighboring mines.
   • Flagging Feature: Right-click to toggle flags on cells, allowing players to mark suspected mines.
   • End Game Logic: Alerts for win or loss conditions, displaying all mines upon game over.

4. User Interaction:

   • Players use the mouse for cell actions:
     • Left-click to reveal a cell.
     • Right-click to flag/unflag a cell as a suspected mine.

Visual Enhancements

• Fonts and button designs make the GUI clear and accessible.

How to Play

1. Left-click to reveal a cell. If it’s a mine, the game ends with a "Game Over" message.
2. Right-click to flag/unflag cells as suspected mines using the "..."
3. The game ends when all non-mine cells are revealed, displaying a "Congratulations" message.

Testing & Verification

• Game Functionality: Verified that left-clicking and right-clicking perform the correct actions, and that win/loss conditions work as expected.
• Visual Feedback: Checked that cells display the correct emojis and mine counts, enhancing gameplay clarity.

This Minesweeper game adds an interactive and visually pleasing experience, and its simplicity makes it a great addition to introduce beginners to GUI programming in Java.
