- ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. About Mine ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
-
- Mine is a game of skill and a race against the clock. The mine field is gridded
- out into squares. The object of the game is to place flags on the mines and to
- uncover the rest of the squares as quickly as possible. If you uncover a mine
- you lose. The number on the left is the playing time in seconds. If it exceeds
- 999 seconds, only 999 will be displayed. The number on the right is the number
- of flags left to place. If the number goes negative, 0 will be displayed.
-
- Initially the field is completely covered. Below each square is either a blank
- square, a number or a mine. A number indicates the number of mines that are
- below adjacent squares. If you uncover a blank square the surrounding squares
- will be automatically uncovered.
-
- If you suspect that there is a mine under a covered square, you can place a
- flag on it. This will protect you from accidentally uncovering a mine since you
- cannot uncover a square with a flag on it. The games is over when you uncover a
- mine or when all the squares without mines have been uncovered.
