Borcherds/!Minesweep/!Help
This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.
Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Minesweeper 1.00 ---------------- Locate all the mines: Click Select to 'tread' on a square - if it's a mine, you'll die, if not you'll be told how many mines there are in the surrounding 8 squares Click Adjust to mark a square as a mine - if you're wrong, you can always change your mind by reclicking (if the Q-mark option is on, Adjust will cycle through flag, '?' and 'untrodden') Double-click Adjust on a square when you have found all its mines The number in the top right is the number of mines left to find Time elapsed is displayed in the top left Click on the face for a new game when you die (or win) If you switch the corners option on, there will be no mines placed in the corners If you ask for a hint, '!'s will be placed in squares that you can work out (both these options stop you getting on the hiscore table) To reset the hiscores, delete all the files in !Minesweep.HiScores Under RISC OS 3, set the 3D bit (*FX 162,140,1) to load the 3D templates ToDo ---- Different menu for the icon bar Option for scaling sprites or loading bigger ones (or summat.... maybe) Dialogue box for custom levels (Conform more to the style guide) Michael Borcherds borchrds%teaching.physics@ox.ac.uk 71 Swarthmore Road, Birmingham.
