Simple way to draw a grid for minesweeper?

[user23]

Whats the simplest way to draw a grid that looks like the one in minesweeper, that can add clickable functions and all alike?

[apython1992]

Turing actually has a built-in GUI library, does it not?

Ooooor...Use Mouse.Where combined with some loops.

Turing:

% make a rect type, then a getRect(col,row):rect function --> awesomeness var r : rect r.x1 := grid.x + col * grid.cellWidth r.y1 := grid.y + row * grid.cellHeight r.x2 := grid.x + col * grid.cellWidth + grid.cellWidth r.y2 := grid.y + row * grid.cellHeight + grid.cellHeight Mouse.Where (mouse.x, mouse.y, mouse.b) % input/logic var r : rect := calcRect (col, row) if r.x1 <= mouse.x and mouse.x <= r.x2 and r.y1 <= mouse.y and mouse.y <= r.y2 then     trigger (col, row) end if % Drawing var r : rect := calcRect (col, row) Draw.FillBox (r.x1, r.y1, r.x2, r.y2, getCellColor (col, row)) Draw.Box (r.x1, r.y1, r.x2, r.y2, black)

Btw, I'm using [url="http://compsci.ca/holtsoft/doc/record.html"]records[/url] heavily here (mainly because their awesome).

@Zren -- you can also use [ tdoc ] tags for fast linking.

[ tdoc ] record [ / tdoc] == record

I guess I was thinking with all the buttons and such. That would work too.

I was wondering how you looked that stuff up so fast. Danke.

I wish there was a way to automagically search for posts corresponding to what the poster wants. For example, the Tutorials section contains a pretty obvious Minesweeper tutorial that covers this topic in part 2 of 4. I would know, because I wrote it.

You can see my signature for the link to part 4 (which links the other sections), or you can go directly here: http://compsci.ca/v3/viewtopic.php?t=21647

He may not be looking for help with the logic of minesweeper (though your tutorial would be great if he was). Right now it seems as though he just wants help with laying out the grid.

Yea, I'm basically just looking to understand how to draw a grid like the one used in the game in this post,

While using a simple level of code.

If you want the grid to look something like that, you can use Draw.FillBox and Mouse.Where for clicking purposes. Also, don't base your minesweeper off of that version...try to do it better!

Yea, I was going to use a for loop to draw the grid with Draw.FillBox, but how can I contain it within the area I'd like? In my game, I don't want the grid to cover the whole screen as its a modified version.

Thanks
