  • Resets the Game object and BoardLayoutView when the user starts a new game.
• Game - (source)
  • Holds game state.
    • Has knowledge of mine placement, adjacent mines count for each square on the board.

  • Checks all user actions to determine if the action is allowed.
    • Publishes win and loss events to the GameManager.
    • Triggers view changes based on game state.

• Board - (source)
  • Randomly places mines within the board grid.
  • Calculates adjacent mine count for each square on the grid.

This application utilizes custom View and Drawable objects. No static BitmapDrawable objects are used. All Drawable objects are programmatically created to allow for ease of customization.

The above graphic includes the following graphical components: TileView, ConcentricCirclesDrawable, and BeveledTileDrawable.

• Custom Views
  • BoardLayoutView - (source)
    • Used to draw the underlying game board and layout tiles.
    • Custom ViewGroup that supports custom XML view attributes.
  • TileView - (source)
    • Uses a LayerListDrawable that switches the graphic displayed for each independent tile based on three states: COVERED, FLAGGED_AS_MINE, and UNCOVERED.

      • Long click: Attempts to uncover a tile to display the tile's adjacent mine count.
      • Click: toggles the mine flag for the tile.
• Drawables
  • BeveledTileDrawable - (source)
    • Used for game tiles, buttons, and text views.
    • BeveledTileButton and BeveledTileTextView both support custom XML view attributes that allow customization of colors.
