Beneath its minimal interface lies a game of logic, probability, and careful decision-making. However, while the original game is timeless, it leaves little room for variation or innovation.</p> <p>That’s exactly the challenge <em>Minesweeper 2.0</em> set out to solve.</p> <p>The goal of this project was to reimagine the traditional Minesweeper experience by introducing powerups, while preserving the core logic-driven mechanics that make the game so engaging. Built using <strong>C++</strong> and the <strong>SFML</strong> graphics library, the project focuses on delivering a smooth, responsive, and visually intuitive desktop gaming experience.</p>
