## Overview

A single-file Tkinter Minesweeper game: the player selects a board size, then plays by revealing or flagging cells; the game updates the board display and handles win/loss and restart. All repository behavior is in minesweeper.py; omitted source excerpts limit detail about some UI wiring.

Main entry points: [`minesweeper.py`](https://github.com/jaycasamorin/minesweeper/blob/main/minesweeper.py) (Game Controller)
