 Objective
 We set out to recreate the popular windows game
“Minesweeper” using a MATLAB simulation.

 Develop an algorithmic logic to solve a Minesweeper

game.

 Determine the average number of wins of a

Minesweeper game.
 Methods
 Initially, we will open a cell randomly and we will make sure the first cell opened will not be a mine.
 Methods
 Once a cell is opened, adjacent cells are also opened, if and only if this cell has no mines adjacent to it.
 Methods
 We count the number of adjacent marked cells and closed cells after the first move is made. If total marked
and closed cells are the same as the adjacent number of mines then closed cells will be mines, so they can
be marked safely.
 Methods
 If we don’t have any possible cells which can be mine or opened, then a random cell will be picked and
opened and the code logic repeated until the game is solved.

 Results and Discussion
 Further develop the code logic implemented
in order to optimally solve a Minesweeper
game in less time.

 Machine learning can be implemented to

solve such problems and real life
applications.
