- The game dynamically generates a minefield with a buffer around the border.
- Mines are randomly placed, and adjacent mine counts are calculated.
- A reference matrix tracks the status of each cell: closed, opened, flagged.
- Opening a mine reveals all mines and ends the game.
- Revealing all non-mine cells results in a win.
