Flagger description

Hardly anyone now not have heard of the famous game "Minesweeper", which in fact since the advent of Windows inseparable from it and most of the OS already preinstalled. However, the idea of "Minesweeper" is not original and comes from the shareware games of the 80's-early 90-ies. Now before you is one of the "prototypes" "Minesweeper" (the note, not the most early) called Flagger.

If suddenly someone does not know the rules "Minesweeper" - we briefly will report on that. There is a field, consisting of cells (in this game it is first a green background, "open" cells are gray). Cells are of three types: empty, with numbers (1 to 8) and mines. The figure in the cell refers to the number of cells with mines, which are contiguous with the cage. The boundary is the contact of the cell edges and angles, that is, each cell is bordered by eight other cells (four on the sides and four at the corners). To win you must discover all the mines on the field: the cells that we consider to be safe, it is necessary to click with the left mouse button, by containing mines – right. If we made a mistake and clicked on a square with a mine as safe, then the game will end (and we'll show you where all the unfound mines).

Flagger has a few differences from the usual "Minesweeper". "Sapper" "open" area with a fully empty cells (i.e. those that have no mines and are not bordering cells with mines) automatically Flagger – no, so you have to somehow click on each cell on the field. On the other hand, in the "Sapper" first click on the field – always safe but always gives a cell with a figure bordering at least one cell with a mine, whereas in Flagger'e first click is always on an empty cell, eight bordering which is also safe (but contain numbers). Also note that the time for each batch in Flagger'e, in contrast to the "Minesweeper", is limited (that is, the game is not just for the "account").

The graphics in the puzzle to assess is meaningless: it is here, and for playing such direction, such quality of a picture is more than enough. In a sense, Flagger even much prettier than Minesweeper, brighter and more interesting, and the game process in view of the limited time more intense. In short, it is today technically trivial (in essence), but insanely addictive game. And if suddenly on your computer for some reason there is no "Minesweeper" - the Flagger can be considered an excellent and probably the best replacement.
