Gameplay

The objective of the game is to creat a rectangular board containing hidden "mines" without detonating any of them, with the help of clues about the number of neighboring mines in each field.

The game begins with a board of covered squares. You can uncover a square by pressing enter key or flag it as a suspected mine by pressing f key.

If you uncover a square that contains a mine, you lose the game. If you uncover all squares that don't contain a mine, you win.
