Objective:
Write a game where you are an X trying to get an ice cream cone in a mine field
Before the game starts, a field of mines are created.
The board has to be first initialized
There mines occupy a tenth of the board (IE (BoardSize x BoardSize)/10 = the
number of mines)
The mines are randomly placed on the board. If a space which is already
occupied (either by the player, the ice cream cone, or another mine) is selected
then another space must be selected until an empty space is found.
The player is placed at 0,0
The ice cream cone is placed at a random location on the board
At each turn, the player chooses to move in the X or Y direction by entering either -1, 0,
or 1, where
-1 is going one space in the negative direction
1 is going one space in the positive direction (remember positive for Y is down)
0 is staying still
9 quits the game
Anything other than these values should prompt the player that they have inputted
an invalid value and then not move in that direction (IE 0).
Before each turn the board is displayed indicating where the player (X) and the goal (^)
are located. Unoccupied spaces and mines are denoted by and underscore (_).
Remember mines need to be hidden so they are also underscores (_). The board is
maximum 10 spaces long and wide.
Once the player reaches the ice cream cone the player wins
If the player lands on a space with a mine they are killed and the game is over
After the game is over, the player should be prompted whether or not they want to play
again.
