Final Project Plan: Algorithms and Minesweeper
Project Overview:
Develop a Minesweeper algorithm to generate and solve puzzles.
Enhance interactivity and visual appeal of the game.
Setup:
Create tables for Minesweeper boards, user data, and game states using SQLAlchemy.
Write scripts to create and initialize the database schema.
Backend Development:
Implement an algorithm to generate valid Minesweeper boards with random mine placement.
Store generated boards in the database.
Implement an algorithm for solving Minesweeper puzzles.
Enable user interaction with the Minesweeper grid, including revealing cells, flagging mines, and submitting moves for solving.
Algorithms:
Generate a list of potential mine locations and ensure a valid board setup.
Calculate the number of adjacent mines for each cell.
Develop logic for uncovering cells and propagating reveals when a cell with no adjacent mines is uncovered.
Database Interaction:
Utilize SQLAlchemy for sorting and searching operations.
Analyze and document the time and space complexity of the Minesweeper solving algorithm.
Grid Manipulation:
Perform 2D iteration to validate and manipulate the Minesweeper grid.
