MINESWEEPER
Minesweeper is a single-player puzzle game that combines strategy,
logic, and a bit of luck. Its goal is to clear a grid of hidden mines without
detonating any of them, using numerical clues to deduce their locations.
Minesweeper engages logical reasoning and strategic thinking .Games are
short, making it a convenient pastime .Its simple rules and increasing
difficulty cater to players of all skill levels.
Gameplay Mechanics
1. Grid Layout:
o The game board is a rectangular grid divided into cells.
o Each cell can either hide a mine or be empty.
2. Objective:
o Reveal all cells without triggering a mine.
o Mark (flag) the locations of all mines correctly.
3. Numerical Clues:
o Clicking an empty cell reveals a number that indicates how many
mines are adjacent to that cell.
o Use these clues to deduce safe cells and mine locations.
4. Winning:
o The game is won when all non-mine cells are revealed, and all
mines are flagged.
5. Losing:
o Clicking on a mine results in an immediate loss, and the game
ends.
Difficulty Levels
Minesweeper typically offers three difficulty levels based on the grid size and
number of mines:
• Beginner: 9x9 grid with 10 mines.
• Intermediate: 16x16 grid with 40 mines.
• Expert: 30x16 grid with 99 mines.
