title: Minesweeper game blocks around the mines
body: <p>Hi so I'm building a program to create the classical minesweeper game in Java, and have almost everything down but I cant figure out how to check the sqaures around a mine and to write in the numbers (i.e. if there are one, two, three mines next to it). I only included the method it's under, but I can post the rest of the program if necessary. What should my approach be? Thanks!</p>
  
  <pre><code>private void countAdjacentMines()
  {        
              for (int i = 0; i &lt; mineField.length; i++)
      {
          for (int j = 0; j &lt; mineField.length; j++)
          {
              if (!(mineField[i][j].getIsMine()))
              {
                  mineField[i-1][j-1];
                  mineField[i-1][j];
                  mineField[i-1][j+1];
                  mineField[i][j-1];
                  mineField[i][j+1];
                  mineField[i+1][j-1];
                  mineField[i+1][j];
                  mineField[i+1][j+1];
  
                  mineField[i][j].setAdjacentMines(0);
              }
          } // end for loop rows
      } // end for loop columns
  } // end countAdjacentMines
