Can anyone tell me how to play minesweeper please?
First the premise: The computer, each time you click on a square, will tell you how many mines are near that square. so, for example, if you had a grid like: X X X X X 2 X X X X X X you would know that two of the X’s near the 2 were mines. The number equals the number of mines in cells that are touching. If you then click the one next to the 2, as in this example: X X X X X 2 0 X (0 being a blank square) X X X X Now, based on this, you know that the squares: X – – – X 2 0 – X – – – Even thou you have not clicked on them, you know there can’t be a mine in any of the – cells. So, click the one under the 2… X – – – X 2 0 – X 1 – – This 1 tells you that the bomb must be either next to the 2, or next to the one (but not both). If you click above the 2, and in this example get a 1, then again, you know that the cells around that one contain 1 bomb. There are other patterns: if you see 1-2-2-1 on a straight edge, the squares right next to the 2’s are both bombs. If you see 1-2-1 on a straig
