Install the latest version of the JRE (if you don't have it) at: http://bit.ly/1r2AXKi (choose your operating system)
-
Extract the files from the zip Use windows explorer to double-click the .zip file named MineSweeper.zip Drag the "U4_MineSweeper_Maanav" folder to your desired directory Wait for the extraction to finish

That's all! To play, double-click the "U4_MineSweeper_Maanav.jar" file.
Instructions are available both inside the game and in this manual. To access them in game, either use the top panel and click Instructions > General or click the "Instructions" button or at any point, use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+I
In each game, you see a board of squares. Some contain bombs, others don't.
If you click a square with a bomb, you lose. The objective of the game is to
isolate all squares containing bombs, and click all squares that do not have
bombs. Clicking a square that doesn't have a bomb reveals the number of
adjacent squares that have bombs. Using this information, as well as some
guess work and understanding of probability, try to avoid the bombs.
CTRL+F can also be used to access the Flagging instructions: To Flag a square as a visual marker for a mine, right click it. Be careful though, since you can still left click it!
To play the game, just run the .jar file and choose either beginner or
intermediate mode. The game works just as the instructions say. You can
flag squares you think are mines with right click, and pick a square to
choose it.
You will be forced to reset the game upon losing, but can also reset at any
time via the big "Reset" button at the top of the screen. This option may
also be found under the top panel at Options > Reset Game, or accessed
via the shortcut CTRL+R.
New Game: CTRL+N can be used to go back to the splash screen and start a new game, and this option may also be found under the top panel at Options > New Game.
