- The object of the game is to locate all mines hidden in the playfield as quickly
- as possible. By clicking on a square in the playfield the game begins and the
- clock starts ticking. As soon as you hit a mine the game is over. When you
- hit a square that does not contain a mine the number of mines surrounding
- this square will be shown. By carefully stepping through the minefield and
- using the information that is revealed it might be possible to locate all mines
- in the field. When you are convinced that there is a mine underneath a certain
- square you can mark that square by shift-clicking on it. As soon as all squares
- have been hit or marked and you haven't stepped on a mine you have won.
