Game Mechanics
The object of the game is to expose all cells on the minefield that do not contain mines.
Click any cell to choose a starting location. Whenever you expose a cell, the number of mines adjacent to that cell is displayed in the cell. If you expose a mine, the game is over. Zeros are displayed as blank cells, and all cells adjacent to a zero are automatically cleared for you.
You must use the information given in the exposed cells to deduce where the mines are hidden. To flag a cell as containing a mine RIGHT CLICK it. To remove a flag, right click again.
Once a numbered cell is touching that exact number of flags, it can be L+R CLICKED to expose all of the adjacent cells to it automatically. Note that the game can be played in browsers such as Opera, but L+R click capability may not be available due to browser limitations.
