- Decoding images using Minesweeper-based puzzles
- Dynamic and visually appealing user interface
- Background color transitions for an immersive experience
- Human verification through logical reasoning and strategic thinking
To run the Image Decoding program, make sure you have the following installed:
- Python (version 3.6 or above)
- tkinter package
- PIL package
- pygame package
-
Clone this repository to your local machine.
git clone https://github.com/Amirrezahmi/Image-Decoding.git
-
Navigate to the project directory.
cd Image-Decoding -
Install the required dependencies.
pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Launch the program.
python main.py
-
Select your image or press "Default Picture" button to begin the decoding process.
- Left Click: Click on a cell with the left mouse button to reveal its content.
- Pay attention to the number displayed on the revealed cell. This number represents the number of adjacent cells containing clues.
- Utilize the clues to strategically identify safe cells and avoid hidden mines.
- Right Click: Click on a cell with the right mouse button to mark it with a flag.
- Flagging a cell indicates your suspicion of a mine.
- Use this feature to mark cells you believe may contain mines, allowing you to avoid them during the decoding process.
-
$\textbf{Important}$ : When you flag a cell correctly, the corresponding part of the image will be decoded, revealing a portion of the hidden message. However, if you flag a cell incorrectly, that part of the image won't decode, emphasizing that blindly flagging all cells won't help you uncover the entire secret message.
- Decoding Strategy: Combine the information from the revealed numbers and your flagged cells to make informed decisions.
- Deduce the contents of neighboring cells based on the numbers displayed.
- Exercise caution! If you click on a cell containing a mine without flagging it, the game will restart, and you'll need to begin the decoding process again.
- First Click: The first click on the game board is always safe, ensuring you have a chance to observe the initial clue and plan your decoding strategy accordingly.
- Winning Condition: Uncover all non-mine cells to successfully decode the image and reveal its secret message.
Beyond the exciting decoding adventure, this program can also serve as a human verification tool. By requiring users to employ logical reasoning and strategic thinking to decode the image, it ensures that they are real people interacting with the system.
