How to Play
===========
Basically the game is very straight forward. You are soldier
assigned the task of Sweeping a mine field. The space bar is your Mine
Sweeper and the 'B' marks the spot as a Mine. Your objective is to find
all the mines in the shortest amount of time possible.
To start, you need to choose a random spot (I like the corners)
and press space bar. If there is no Mine there, then a number representing
the number of Mines surrounding you is displayed. If there is a mine, of
course you are blown up and the game ends. The display works some thing like
this:
* 1 0 0 1 1
2 2 0 1 2 *
* 1 0 1 * 2
1 1 0 1 3 2
0 0 0 1 * 1
So from this you can logically figure out where the bombs are.
If you're sure that a certain spot is a mine, hit the B key to mark it and
move on. If you're wrong, then the mine goes off and Game over. If you're
right, then the Mine counter is lowered by one and the game continues.
Of course, when you start you don't know what's underneath. As
you can tell the number of surrounding mines is based on the complete
circle not just the four corners. When (and if, GriN) you find all the
mines, your total time is displayed and you are returned to the main menu.
If your time is the best in that category, then your time replaces the old
time.
That's it, of course the movement keys are the Numbers on the
keypad, so make sure your Num-Lock is on.
