|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Xdémineur 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).
|
|
|
|
Finally, to start a new game, just click on the yellow face above
|
|
the minefield.
