I would like to help but the issue is vague (what is the function supposed to do? What is it doing wrong? Also, since your code contains no comments I would have to study the entire program to understand how any portion of it works. Make it easier on us and you will get more responses.I am attracted to your problem because I have written a minesweeper game myself (for windows, not the console) and because it is not just another of the endlessly repetitive CS101 homework problems which appear on this site.

Your game only lets you reveal.Reading just the numbers is a little rough on the player, and the gameboard prints badly when the '-1' mines are displayed. You can use a lookup table to print something nicer to look at. I did not understand about this website and code suggested to color font in console:SetConsoleTextAttribute(GetStdHandle;how exactly do I use it and how it is possible to color only 1 character for example, my idea is to color each instance of the game ( I refer to numbers = 9 as a starting field one color, 0 as empty field another color, -1 as mines another color and 1 2 3 and 4 others colors) so the player can actually see what is going on in the game.Can someone tell me how and where to place the code to achieve this?THANKS for your great help!! I'm working on each of your suggestions!!
Microsoft Minesweeper (formerly just Minesweeper, and also known as Flower Field) is a minesweeper-type video game created by Curt Johnson, originally for IBM's OS/2, that was ported to Microsoft Windows by Robert Donner, both Microsoft employees at the time. First officially released as part of the Microsoft Entertainment Pack 1 in 1990, it was first included in the standard install of Windows 3.1 in 1992, replacing Reversi from Windows 3.0.[1]Microsoft Minesweeper was included without major changes in all subsequent Windows releases until Windows Vista, at which time an updated version by Oberon Media replaced it.[2] In Windows 8 and later the game is not included with a fresh Windows install, but Microsoft Studios has published an updated version of it, developed by Arkadium, on Windows Store.[3][4][5]
Gameplay[edit]
Minesweeper in Windows XP on Easy Mode (a 9x9 square grid)
The goal of Minesweeper is to uncover all the squares on a grid that do not contain mines without being 'blown up' by clicking on a square with a mine underneath. The location of the mines is discovered through a logical process (but that sometimes results in ambiguity). Clicking on the game board will reveal what is hidden underneath the chosen square or squares (a large number of blank squares [bordering 0 mines] may be revealed in one go if they are adjacent to each other). Some squares are blank while others contain numbers (from 1 to 8), with each number being the number of mines adjacent to the uncovered square.
To help the player avoid hitting a mine, the location of a suspected mine can be marked by flagging it with the right mouse button. The game is won once all blank or numbered squares have been uncovered by the player without hitting a mine; any remaining mines not identified by flags are automatically flagged by the computer. However, in the event that a game is lost and the player had mistakenly flagged a safe square, that square will either appear with a red X, or else a red X covering the mine (both denoting the square as safe). The game board comes in three set sizes with a predetermined number of mines: 'beginner', 'intermediate', and 'expert', although a 'custom' option is available as well.[6]
In early versions of the game, a cheat code let players peek beneath the tiles.[7]
By the year 2000, the game had been given the name of Flower Field instead of Minesweeper in some translations of Windows 2000 (like the Italian version), featuring flowers instead of mines.[8]Flower Field's gameplay was otherwise unchanged, as was the executable file name.
Evolution[edit]

Minesweeper Flags[edit]
In 2003, Microsoft created a variation called Minesweeper Flags in MSN Messenger, which is played against an opponent with the objective to find the mines rather than the surrounding squares.[9]
Vista[edit]
The game's color scheme changed with the release of Vista (from gray to either blue or green). The icons were updated to match the Aero look. It also came with a more peaceful 'flower' motif (called 'Flower Garden') to replace the landmines (a game style called 'Minesweeper').[1] The visual change also allowed for the Board to be 'Silver and Blue' or 'Green'.[10] This iteration of Minesweeper was created by Oberon Media. The controversy over the land mine theme of the game was settled by defaulting the appearance based on region so that 'sensitive' areas used the flower theme, but some still wanted the game removed from Windows altogether.[10] The regionalization effort also included changing the game's name in some cases to match the theme.
Windows 8 and later[edit]
Microsoft removed Minesweeper from Windows 8 and instead published a free equivalent on Microsoft Store. The new version is developed by Arkadium and is ad-supported.[11][12] The initial release was supported by 30 second video ads. Later releases had monthly and annual subscription options to remove the ads.[13][14][15] Multiple news outlets criticized the change as greedy.[16][17][18][19] This version updates both motifs (themes called 'Modern' and 'Garden' as of Windows 10). Daily challenges and an adventure mode were also added.
As of Windows 10, the non-premium version has six modes of play: Easy (9x9), Medium (16x16), Expert (30x16), Custom, Adventure, and Daily Challenges. The two themes are 'Modern theme' and 'Garden theme'. On the main menu, there are sections for Awards, Leaderboards, Statistics, and Tutorials. But if the window is resized to be much smaller, then it becomes impossible to change the theme. If the game window is made larger, the full menu is available and the theme can be changed.
Some of the game options are only relevant for a touchscreen, like the flag mode and swiping.
Reception[edit]
Business Insider called the game an 'iconic part' of the Windows operating system.[20]
