# Sweeper
[](https://crates.io/crates/sweeper "Sweeper on Crates.io")
[](https://docs.rs/sweeper "Sweeper on Docs.rs")
A foundation for Minesweeper implementations in Rust.
The purpose of such a crate is to have Minesweeper implementations depend on a common crate, i.e. for them to share the basic code related to managing a Minesweeper session and only bother writing the code for the UI, sound effects, input and such. Such implementations can be seen as frontends to this library.
## Feature gates
- `std` — enable a dependency on the hosted standard library (**enabled by default**)
Without this feature, the crate only depends on `core` and `alloc` (meaning that usage in an environment without even a memory allocator is impossible), allowing it to run in a freestanding environment, allowing one to implement Minesweeper on a microcontroller, meaning Arduino Minesweeper, ESP32 Minesweeper, OSDev Minesweeper... you name it.
- `generation` — enable random generation (**enabled by default**)
Enables the dependency on `rand`, used for generating random fields. Disable to remove said dependency if you'd like to use your own random field generator.
- `track_caller` — use `track_caller` attributes
Places the `track_caller` attribute on indexing operators and other panicking methods, improving panic messages. **Requires a nightly compiler as of Rust 1.43.0**.
