Minesweeper is a fascinating puzzle game that allows you to develop logical thinking and spend your free time with interest. To those who are not familiar with this game, it may seem that it is almost impossible to win. In fact, this is not the case. After carefully studying the rules, practicing a little and developing certain tactics of the game, you can easily learn how to win and can boast of it in front of your friends.
Instructions
Step 1
Start the game and choose the most convenient options for you. The game offers four difficulty levels for your choice. The first (beginner) - the size of the field is 9x9 cells, among which 10 minutes are hidden. The second (amateur) - the field consists of 256 cells and 40 minutes are hidden on it. Third (professional) - you need to find 99 mines among 480 cells. Fourth (special) - you can set the number of mines and the size of the game board yourself. The limit is 720 cells with 668 mines.
Step 2
Go to the application's help section and read the rules of the game and tips for it, and then start playing by opening the cells you like. If you are sure that there is a mine in front of you, then be sure to mark the cell with a flag right away, otherwise you may later forget its location. Each open number tells you the number of bombs located in eight adjacent cells.
Step 3
Take your time and carefully calculate the possible options for the moves. After calculating an empty cell, boldly open it without fear of losing. If any of the cells confuses you, you are not sure that there is a bomb, mark it with a question mark and continue the game.
Step 4
Cheat a little and use a special cheat code for the game. Install a dark solid color wallpaper on your desktop, minimize all extraneous windows and start the game. Make sure that the input focus is in the game window, if necessary, switch to English and enter the combination xyzzy, then press the left Shift. Start moving your mouse across the playing field and look at the upper left pixel of the screen. If the cell is empty, it will begin to glow with a barely noticeable white color, and if there is a bomb there, it will remain dark unchanged. This method is good to use if you have an argument with a person who does not know about this trick. Just try to enter the code discreetly, otherwise you may be declassified.
