NAME
       xdemineur - X11 minesweeper game

SYNOPSIS
       xdemineur [-v] [-display	displayname] [-geometry	geom] [-m mines]

DESCRIPTION
       Xdemineur is a minesweeper game for the X Window	System.

       The  object of this game	is to find the location	of the mines hidden in
       the minefield and to mark their location	by  placing  a	warning	 flag.
       You have	exactly	as many	flags as there are mines.  The number of flags
       that  remain  to	 be  placed is displayed in the	top left corner	of the
       window and a timer is displayed in the top right	corner.

       The game	is played using	a three	buttons	mouse, as  usual  with	the  X
       Window  System.	 The  left  button  (button  1)	is used	to uncover the
       square on which you click (hoping that a	mine  is  not  hidden  there).
       The  number  displayed  in an uncovered square indicates	how many mines
       are located around this square (for example, a 3	means that  there  are
       three  mines  within the	8 surrounding squares).	 The whole game	relies
       on the right use	of these numbers.  The right button (button 3) is used
       to place	a flag on a square (this indicates that	there is a mine	here).
       If you click again with the right button	on a square that has  a	 flag,
       the  flag  is  changed  into a question mark: this is useful if you are
       trying to guess the possible location of	some mine, you can  use	 ques-
       tion marks to think about it.  One more click with the right button and
       the  question mark disappears.  Clicking	with the middle	button (button
       2) on an	uncovered square which has all its flags placed	around	uncov-
       ers  the	surrounding cells which	have no	flags (this will save a	lot of
       time).

       Finally,	to start a new game, just click	on the yellow face  above  the
       minefield.
