Minesweeper is a classic logic-based computer puzzle game that challenges players to uncover a grid of hidden squares without detonating hidden mines. The game is typically played on a rectangular grid, and the objective is to clear all non-mine squares.

Gameplay Mechanics

  1. Grid Layout: The grid consists of cells that can either be empty, contain a number, or hide a mine.
  2. Flagging Mines: Players can right-click to place a flag on cells they suspect contain mines. This helps in tracking potential mine locations and planning future moves.
  3. Winning and Losing: The game is won when all non-mine cells are uncovered. The game is lost if a player clicks on a cell containing a mine, causing it to explode.

History and Impact

Minesweeper originated in the 1960s but gained widespread popularity when included in Microsoft Windows operating systems from Windows 3.1 onwards. Its simple yet challenging nature has made it a timeless and enduring favorite among casual and puzzle game enthusiasts.

The game's appeal lies in its combination of strategy, logic, and a touch of luck, providing a satisfying and mentally stimulating experience for players of all ages.

Enjoy the Game ;)
