Improvements for Minesweeper Project

[warestack-dev[bot]]

I would like to suggest several improvements that could enhance the Minesweeper game:

1. User Interface Enhancements: Improve the terminal interface with better visuals or ASCII art to make the game more engaging.
2. Difficulty Levels: Implement different difficulty levels (easy, medium, hard) with varying grid sizes and mine counts.
3. Save/Load Game Feature: Allow players to save their progress and load it later.
4. High Score Tracking: Introduce a scoring system that tracks the fastest completion times and displays high scores.
5. Multiplayer Mode: Consider adding a multiplayer mode where players can compete against each other.
6. Code Documentation: Enhance inline comments and documentation to make the code more understandable for beginners.
7. Testing: Add unit tests to verify the game's functionality and ensure that it works as expected.
8. Error Handling: Improve error handling for user inputs to prevent the game from crashing due to invalid entries.
