What am I missing?

Question about the task

Under discussion

So I am trying to start working on the Minesweeper Game. I am working on part 1/16 and it seems like it is both asking for the basic layout of the MinesweeperGame class but also writing out initializing the Game class on top of what is being requested in the requirements. I have followed the instructions as requested but I keep getting an error saying "An error occurred: UNKNOWN_ERROR". I have followed the requirements and noted the statement "If you did everything right, you will see the playing field when you start the application." This provides some confusion. Regardless, my code looks like this:

package com.codegym.games.minesweeper

import com.codegym.engine.cell.*;

public class MinesweeperGame extends Game
{

}

I have also considered including some: public static void main(String[] args) { game.initialize(); } to satisfy the statement mentioned above. Is there any insight to move forward from here?

Let's write the entertaining Minesweeper game.

Rules of the game:

The playing field is divided into adjacent cells (squares), some of which contain "mines".
The objective of the game is to clear the field, i.e. reveal all cells that don't contain mines.
If a cell with a mine is revealed, the game is lost. The mines are placed randomly.
If a revealed cell doesn't have a mine, a number appears in it, indicating how many "mined" cells are adjacent to the revealed cell. You can use these numbers to calculate the location of mines.
If the adjacent cells also do not contain mines, an "unmined" region is revealed up to cells that do have numbers.
Cells that you believe to contain mines can be flagged so you don't accidentally reveal them. The number of flags is equal to the number of mines on the game board.
If "unmined" cells are revealed, then the game is won.

Now let's start implementing the game:

To begin, create a MinesweeperGame class, which will implement the logic of the game. This class must inherit the Game class, which is part of CodeGym's cool "game engine".

This and other engine classes are located in the com.codegym.engine.cell package. To use them, the MinesweeperGame class must include the following import statement: import com.codegym.engine.cell.*;

If you did everything right, you will see the playing field when you start the application.

Requirements:

There must be a public MinesweeperGame class.
The MinesweeperGame class must inherit the Game class.
The MinesweeperGame class must have a statement that imports the entire contents of the com.codegym.engine.cell package.

package com.codegym.games.minesweeper import com.codegym.engine.cell.*; public class MinesweeperGame extends Game { public static void main(String[] args) { game.initialize(); } }

One minor thing: In the code you posted, there is a semicolon missing at the end of line 1.
