MATLAB Demo

My favorite MATLAB demo was the xpbombs demo. This is the demo that allows you to play an 8 by 8 game of Minesweeper with 13 bombs. I discovered it because I was originally going to use the penny sketch demo but it kept crashing whenever I would try to run it. I scrolled down and saw a Minesweeper one and thought it would be fun to try out because I had two hours to kill while in Perkins before class and that was plenty of time to play a few games and then try to finish up the assignment. About an hour later I had finally beaten a game, and it is by far my favorite demo. I did not learn anything at all but it as very fun and I spent quite a bit of time using it!
