💣 NAME 💣

Mines — the popular logic puzzle minesweeper, bestie. Yes, that minesweeper. The one. 👑

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

gnome-mines [OPTION...]

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

okay so picture this: gnome-mines is a puzzle game where you locate mines floating in an ocean 🌀 using only your brain and a little bit of luck. that's it, that's the whole vibe. big brain energy required, RNG girlies also welcome 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -v, --version — prints the release version and then dips immediately. no game, just receipts. 🫶
  • --small — starts the game with a small board, which is 8 by 8. cute, cozy, low stakes.
  • --medium — starts the game with a medium board, 16 by 16. the middle child. balanced. iconic.
  • --big — starts the game with a big board, 30 by 16. absolutely unhinged amounts of squares. main character energy only. 🔥
heads up bestie: if more than one of these size options is given, the biggest size is selected. so --small --big is not "small but spicy," it's just big. the game said pick a struggle and it picked the biggest one. 💀

this program also accepts the standard GNOME and GTK options, so you can get all fancy with those too. ✨
