Wrote this minesweeper console game in C++ class when I was bored earlier this year. You input your spaces using computer style coordinates (Top left is 0,0 bottem right is 9,9 etc). You can't label where you think there are mines though, which adds a layer of difficulty, and placement of the the 10 mines is random on each launch. Just thought I'd share.
