Project near deadline please help

[Brandalf]

Hey guys Iam in a bit of a pickle. My deadline is near and i have taken on too hard a project atm. I have got this minesweeper program i have started its not pretty bu it will do. I have basically got the menu system working and got the grid with the mines appearing but the mines are also appearing as i do not know how to cout a blank grid of stars. i have tryed for hours to get the program to cin values and check against the grid then reveal squares around it but i just cant do it. Please can anyone help me iam desperate for help.

Maybe dissecting the following will help.

#include <cstdlib>
#include <ctime>
#include <iostream>

struct Board

    int mineGrid[10][10] ;
    bool revealed[10][10] ;
};

{
    for ( unsigned i=0; i<10; ++i )
    {
        for ( unsigned j=0; j<10; ++j )
        {
            if ( b.revealed[i][j] )
                std::cout << b.mineGrid[i][j] ;
            else
                std::cout << '*' ;
        }
        std::cout << '\n' ;
    }
}

        }
}

    //** Used to put mines into the real grid **//

    unsigned minecount = 0 ;

    do

            minecount++;

    } while (minecount < 10) ;

    return b ;
