wxWin Bombs
|
|
by Pasquale Foggia

|
|
|
1. The aim of the program
|
|
wxWin Bombs is the wxWin implementation of the minesweeper game you find
|
|
under MSWindows 3.1+. Later the rules of the game will be explained for
|
|
the lucky ones of you that have never used Windows.
|
|
|
|
2. Installation
|
|
If you are reading this file, I suppose you have successfully unpacked the
|
|
files in a directory of your hard disk :-). You should already have
|
|
installed wxWin on your system.
|
|
Now you have to modify makefile.bcc
|
|
(if a Windows user) or makefile.unx (if you use a real OS) setting the
|
|
proper values for the directories. Finally, you have to run:
|
|
make -f makefile.bcc
|
|
for Windows (nmake if you use a MicroSoft compiler), or:
|
|
make -f makefile.unx xview
|
|
for Unix+xview and
|
|
make -f makefile.unx motif
|
|
for Unix+motif
|
|
|
|
If you are lucky, you will find the bombs executable, ready to be run.
|
|
|
|
3. Test
|
|
Bombs has been tested under the following platforms:
|
|
PC + MSWindos 3.1 + wxWin 1.60 + Borland C 3.1
|
|
Sun SPARCstation 20 + SunOS + xview + wxWin 1.63 + gcc 2.3.3
|
|
and all seems to work fine.

4. The author
|
|
This program has been developed by Pasquale Foggia, a PhD student
|
|
in Computer Engineering at the "Federico II" University of Naples, Italy.

|

|
|
|
|
6. The rules of the game
|
|
Your aim is to discover all the bombs in a mined field. If you click with
|
|
the left mouse button on a cell containing a bomb, your game ends.
|
|
Otherwise, the number of bombs in the 8 neighbour cells will be displayed.
|
|
When you have clicked all the cells without a bomb, you win.
|
|
You can also use the right button (or left button+shift) to mark a cell
|
|
you think hides a bomb, in order to not click it accidentally.
|
|
|
|
7. Concluding remarks
|
|
I hope someone of you will enjoy this program. However, I enjoyed writing
|
|
it (thanks to Julian Smart and all the other wxWin developers).
|
|
In the near future I plan to implement under wxWin the great 'empire'
|
|
(is there someone that still remember it?), IMHO one of the most addictive
|
|
strategy games. If someone is interested, please contact me by e-mail.
|
|
I beg you pardon for my approximative english.

------
|
|
A note from Julian Smart: Many thanks to Pasquale for the contribution.
|
|
I've taken the liberty of making a few changes.
|
|
|
|
1) I've made the status line have a single field so that you
|
|
can see the 'cells remaining' message properly.
|
|
|
|
2) I've changed the title from "wxWin Bombs" (which, as a statement,
|
|
is an unfortunate reflection of the reality of earlier versions of
|
|
wxWindows :-)) to wxBombs.
|
|
|
|
3) Added SetClientData to resize the window on Restart; eliminated
|
|
scrollbars; made the frame unresizable.
|
|
|
|
4) Added makefile.dos for VC++ 1.x, makefile.wat for Watcom C++. |
