🚀 Getting Started

To compile and run this game on your local machine, follow these simple steps.

Prerequisites

You will need a C compiler, such as GCC or MinGW, installed on your system.

Compilation & Execution

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone [https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name.git](https://github.com/your-username/your-repo-name.git)

2. Navigate to the project directory:

   cd your-repo-name

3. Compile the source code. Assuming the file is named main.c:

   gcc main.c -o minesweeper

   Note: The code uses _sleep() for animations, which is specific to Windows. If you are on Linux or macOS, you may need to replace _sleep() with usleep() and include <unistd.h>. The system("cls||clear") command should work on both Windows and Unix-like systems.

4. Run the game:

   • On Windows:

     .\minesweeper.exe

   • On Linux / macOS:

     ./minesweeper
