XVmines is a simple minesweeper game for X Window System.
|
||
|
|
xvmines creates a rectangle on the screen, divided into equally
|
||
|
|
sized cells. Each cell may contain a mine (hence the name xvmines),
|
||
|
|
contain a number indicating the number of mines present in the
|
||
|
|
8-neighboring cells or be empty.
|
||
|
|
Initially, all cells are covered with tiles. A tile can be
|
||
|
|
removed, uncovering the cell below, by clicking the left mouse
|
||
|
|
button on it. In addition,a cell can be marked as containing a mine
|
||
|
|
by clicking the right mouse button on it. Note however that marking
|
||
|
|
a cell as containing a mine does not necessarily mean that the cell
|
||
|
|
really contains a mine!
|
||
|
|
Clicking the middle mouse button on a tile, marks it with a
|
||
|
|
question mark, acting as a reminder mechanism. The user can use the
|
||
|
|
numbers in the uncovered cells to find (or sometimes guess ...)
|
||
|
|
which cells contain mines and which do not.
|
||
|
|
A game ends when all cells not containing mines have been
|
||
|
|
uncovered and all cells containing mines have been marked, or when
|
||
|
|
a cell containing a mine is uncovered.
