\par \pard\plain \s6\li360\sa31 \f2\fs16 Minesweeper is a challenging game of strategy and luck. You are
|
|
presented with a mine field, and your objective is to locate all the mines as quickly as possible. To accomplish this task, you have two tools: one is a mine detector, the other is your foot.
|
|
\par
|
|
\par In order to locate the mines using these limited tools, use the following approach:
|
|
\par \pard\plain \s14\fi-360\li720\sa43\tx720 \f2\fs16 1\tab Step on a square with your foot.
|
|
\par 2\tab If the square is a mine, you're dead.
|
|
\par \pard\plain \s7\fi-360\li720\sa180\tx720 \f2\fs16 3\tab If the square isn't a mine, your mine detector informs you of the number of mines in the surrounding eight squares.
|
|
\par \pard\plain \s6\li360\sa31 \f2\fs16 Continue to step on squares until you either uncover all the squares without mines and win or step on a mine and die.
|
|
\par
|
|
\par You can use the counters at the top of the playing area to keep track of your progress.
|
|
\par
|
|
\par The counter in the upper-left corner of the playing area initially indicates the number of mines hidden in the mine field. Every time you {\ul mark}{\v Mark} a square, this number decreases by one.
|
|
\par
|
|
\par The counter in the upper-right corner of the playing area is a timer, which displays your playing time in seconds. The faster you find all the mines, the better your score.
