🎮 How to Play

Objective

Your goal is to uncover all grid cells that do not contain mines. Mark suspected mines with flags until only safe cells remain.

Controls & Core Rules

    • Left-Click: Uncover a cell. The very first click generates the minefield and is always 100% safe.

    • Right-Click (or Middle-Click): Mark a cell with a flag / remove a flag.

    • Numbers: Uncovered cells show numbers indicating how many mines are located within the 8 adjacent neighboring cells.

    • Empty Cells (0): Clicking an empty cell automatically reveals all connected empty and numbered neighboring cells (Flood-Fill effect).

UI Features & Tools

    • New Game: Instantly restarts the game with the chosen settings.

    • Safe Move: An automatic helper function. It analyzes the board to safely reveal a hidden cell or place a guaranteed flag.

     Use it whenever you are stuck!

    • Time: The timer starts automatically with your first click and tracks your elapsed play time.

    • Mine Counter: Displays the total number of mines minus the number of flags currently placed.

Victory & Defeat

    • 🏆 Victory: You win the game when every single non-mine cell on the board has been uncovered.

    • 💥 Defeat: If you reveal a cell containing a mine, the game ends immediately and all remaining mine locations are revealed.

 

💡 Quick Tips & Strategies

    1. Start Big: Begin near the corners or in the center to increase your chances of opening up a large, safe starting area.

    2. Use the "Safe Move" Helper: Don't gamble! Use the build-in logical solver helper before making risky guesses.

    3. Analyze Number Patterns: If the number of unrevealed neighbors equals the number on a cell, all those neighbors are

    definitely mines. If a cell's number is already satisfied by flags, all other hidden neighbors are safe to click.

    4. Think Logically: Minesweeper is a game of logic. Take your time, analyze the layout, and use the Safe Move function instead

    of guessing blindly.
