Minesweeper implemented as SQLite views and triggers

Full Minesweeper Implementation in SQLite

How to play

• Start an in-memory sqlite console by executing run.sh
• To start a game, INSERT into start_game(name, rows, columns, bombs), e.g. to start a game titled 'My First Game' on a 5x5 board with 5 bombs, INSERT INTO start_game(name, rows, columns, bombs) VALUES('My First Game', 5, 5, 5);
• To get an ASCII-Art rendering of the game status, execute SELECT output FROM game_prompt;
• To click a cell, INSERT into click_cell(row, column). e.g. to click the cell in row 3, column 4: INSERT INTO click_cell(3, 4);
• To add a flag to a cell, INSERT into flag_cell(row, column). To remove a flag, INSERT into unflag_cell(row, column).
• In the board overview, unknown cells are blank, clicked, empty cells are displayed as a filled block, and flags are 'F'.
• After the game has finished, the board overview will also show bombs as '*', misplaced flags as 'ꟻ', and clicked bombs as '!'
• Exit the game by pressing CTRL+D or entering .quit
