This is not a render, this is an actual in-game picture!

So, I had to study for a Pascal test. Yes, in Argentina we are taught Pascal on Programming 101. I'm not sure why, since the language is freaking archaic and is not used ANYWHERE. But I guess is a good introduction to low-level programming, although I would rather learn C, since it has more real-world uses.

Anyway, so I had to study for a Pascal test, and after skimming over the topics I though it would be more fun to make a game than to make pointless exercises.

I could have used more structures, but I didn't realize until after being knee-deep into the thing. So anyway, here it is.

• Move with ARROW keys
• Set flags with F key
• Activate tile with SPACE key
• Quit the current minefield with Q

• 4 levels of difficulty!
• You can set flags!
• Colors!
• It displays all the mines when you lose!
• Satisfying start! Because it makes sure all the tiles are clear on the first try!
• Memory leaks! Overflows of many kinds!
• Retro 8-bit console pixel-art gameplay!
• Buzzwords!
• Configurable style! Just right-click on the console window Properties > Font and change the font size!
