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 sur-
     rounding  squares).   The	whole game relies on the right use of these num-
     bers.  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  ques-
     tion  mark: this is useful if you are trying to guess the possible location
     of some mine, you can use question 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 uncovers 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 mine-
     field.
