=================
A program that looks superficially like the minesweeper program that
comes supplied with MS Windows (and is also available in other
versions). Runs under X Windows on the UNIX operating system.
Features
--------
There are a number of features that make this version different from
the others available (that I have seen).
3 Grid Tile options
Hexagonal - Easy (the endgame can be difficult).
Square - Traditional.
Triangular - Difficult.
3 Grid sizes
Small - 8x8 with 10 bombs
Medium - 16x16 with 40 bombs
Large - 30x16 with 99 bombs
Highscore table
10 entries for the fastest times for each of the 3 levels of
each of the 3 grid shapes.
Playing the game
----------------
Located under the tiles of the grid are a number of unexploded
bombs. The target of the game is detect the location of the bombs
given only the number of bombs neighbouring each of the locations
known to have no bomb. Locations known to contain bombs, are marked
and the game finishes when all locations are uncovered or marked.
Left mouse button - Uncover the current location if not already done
or uncover all adjacent squares not marked as bombs.
Middle mouse button - Uncover all adjacent squares not marked as bombs.
Right mouse button - Mark a square as being known to contain a bomb (toggles).
's' key - Start a new game
'q' key - Quit the game
'h' key - Print the high score table for the current grid shape.
'1','2' or '3' key - Select game level 1, 2 or 3.
'H','S' or 'T' key - Select game type Hexagon, Square or Triangle grid.
Installation
------------
Edit the Makefile to set the paths for installation (INSTDIR), X
windows libraries (XLIB) and the compiler options (CC, CFLAGS).
make xbomb
make install
And all should be OK.
This program has been tested on the following systems:
Linux 1.x, 2.x
SunOS 4.1.x
Solaris 2.x
