- DESCRIPTION OF XTMINES by Timothy K. Tsai
-
- xtmines is an X11 game. The object of the game is to move across a grid of
- squares representing a minefield. In some of the squares are hidden mines.
- You will be told how many of the surrounding squares contain mines, and based
- on this information, it will usually be possible to traverse the entire
- minefield safely. As an aid, you are given three hand grenades, which you can
- toss onto a square. Once a mine explodes, all adjacent mines will also
- explode, causing a possible chain reaction. Points are awarded if you
- successfully traverse the minefield on a given level. A high scores file is
- maintained.
