     XDEMINEUR(6)                                                   XDEMINEUR(6)

     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 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
          minefield.
