.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
.I Mines
|
|
is an implementation of the game Minesweeper.
|
|
The game is played on a rectangular grid.
|
|
A certain number of mines is hidden beneath some of the tiles.
|
|
Left clicking on a tile uncovers it.
|
|
If a mine is revealed, the player loses.
|
|
Otherwise, a number is shown that indicates the number of mines in the 8 adjacent tiles.
|
|
The player wins once they have uncovered all tiles free from mines.
|
|
.PP
|
|
Right clicking marks a square, cycling through the flag marker indicating a mine and the query marker with no specific meaning (provided solely for the player's convenience).
|
|
Middle clicking will uncover all adjacent squares, if it is safe to do so (assuming the flag markers are set correctly).
|
|
.PP
|
|
The number at the top left indicates the number of mines remaining that are not marked by flags.
|

The number in the top right indicates the number of seconds elapsed.

The smiley face can be clicked to restart the game.
