About this game

Mines Sweeper starts directly on a 10-by-10 field containing twelve mines. Uncover a square to reveal either a clue or an empty area. A numbered clue counts mines in the surrounding eight squares, so combine several nearby clues before choosing another covered tile.

Left-click a covered square to uncover it. Right-click a covered square to add or remove a flag; the counter changes as flags are placed. Empty regions open out automatically. The packaged Pascal source defines these rules and the board size, and the preview shows the same layout and counter.

Hitting a mine immediately starts a fresh field rather than leaving a long game-over screen. Treat an unexpected board reset as the result of a mine hit. Escape exits. Place flags only when the nearby numbers justify them, since the counter reflects your markings rather than verifying their accuracy.
