MineSector

Pretty classic Minesweeper. Web Demo deployed here!

This uses only SDL2 and extension libraries SDL_image, SDL_ttf, and SDL_mixer.

Built with CMake (unfortunately).

Quickstart

Install the appropriate auto-built binary from latest release.

For Windows: Run the .msi installer. You may need to get past Windows Defender.
For MacOS: Use the .dmg package and do that weird Drag and Drop into Applications thing you do. The first time you go to open it right click -> Open -> Open.
For RPM/DEB distros: Install the appropriate .rpm or .deb with your package manager (It should install dependencies).
Other Unix: Build from source. See below.

Unix Build from Source Code

1. Install SDL2 (minimum version 2.0.18), SDL_image, SDL_ttf, and SDL_mixer development packages (and basic build tools).

Fedora:

sudo dnf install SDL2-devel SDL2_image-devel SDL2_ttf-devel SDL2_mixer-devel cmake

MacOS Homebrew:

brew install sdl2 sdl2_image sdl2_ttf sdl2_mixer cmake

Ubuntu 22.04:

sudo apt install libsdl2-dev libsdl2-ttf-dev libsdl2-mixer-dev libsdl2-image-dev cmake

2. Build source code

git clone https://github.com/ruuzia/minesector.git
cd minesector
./configure
make -j

./configure is currently equivalent to running cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release. To specify an installation location, set -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX in the configure step:

./configure -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=./build

The -j argument to make just tells make to run in parallel and is not required. ./configure may issue warnings on some distros like Ubuntu about not finding cmake configuration files for SDL2_ttf, SDL2_image, and SDL2_mixer but it should still work.

3. Install

MacOS

On MacOS, CMake builds a .app package. Run it with:

open MineSector.app

To install, run cpack to build a .dmg Drag and Drop.

cpack
open minesector.dmg 

Linux / other Unix

sudo make install

To run the program without make install, you must set the MINERUNTIME environment variable to the source directory to tell MineSector where to find the assets. Inside the git repo:

MINERUNTIME="" ./minesector
