Xdemineur is a minesweeper game for the X Window System.
|
|
|
|
The object of this game is to find the location of the mines hidden in the
|
|
minefield and to mark their location by placing a warning flag. You have
|
|
exactly as many flags as there are mines. The number of flags that remain to
|
|
be placed is displayed in the top left corner of the window and a timer is
|
|
displayed in the top right corner.
|
|
|
|
The game is played using a three buttons mouse, as usual with the X Window
|
|
System. The left button (button 1) is used to uncover the square on which you
|
|
click (hoping that a mine is not hidden there). The number displayed in an
|
|
uncovered square indicates how many mines are located around this square (for
|
|
example, a 3 means that there are three mines within the 8 surrounding
|
|
squares). The whole game relies on the right use of these numbers. The right
|
|
button (button 3) is used to place a flag on a square (this indicates that
|
|
there is a mine here). If you click again with the right button on a square
|
|
that has a flag, the flag is changed into a question mark: this is useful if
|
|
you are trying to guess the possible location of some mine, you can use
|
|
question marks to think about it. One more click with the right button and
|
|
the question mark disappears. Clicking with the middle button (button 2) on
|
|
an uncovered square which has all its flags placed around uncovers the
|
|
surrounding cells which have no flags (this will save a lot of time).
