Post Body

I'm working on a minesweeper style game and I'm trying to implement the algorithm used to reveal tiles. Theoretically, it should be relatively simple:

On click, reveal a tile. If the tile has 0 adjacent mines, run the same code on its neighbors, checking if they all have 0 mines and causing them to reveal their neighbors and so on.

I feel this code should be sufficient, but I get an infinite loop error whenever I run it.

I genuinely don't know what's causing the issue, here. Could it be the way I get the surrounding tiles?
