QMine - Game Overview

---

QMine was written for DOS in 1996 by Ilmari Vacklin.

It's a simple game. You have certain amount of tiles, which will be empty. However, some of them will include number of mines, which you have to discover. Discovering means no clicking them, but either marking them with a right-click, or uncovering all the other tiles with left-click. When you uncover a tile that's not a mine, it will turn into a number. The number shows the amount of mines around it. (8 places) If it shows nothing (blank tile), there are no mines around it.

You win the game by flagging all mines or opening all squares. The default game is 10x10 with 10 mines but you can play 10x10 to 30x20 with 1 to 50 mines. You can flag mines but there is no chording. The timer start immediately but there are no Highscores.

QMine is written in QuickBasic 4.5 and uses BIOS screen mode 13h, meaning standard VGA, 320 x 200 resolution with 256 colors.
