JMines

A MineSweeper clone for Java

The objective of the game is to flag all the mines that are hidden under the tiles, and remove all the other tiles which are not covering a mine, and to do all this in the shortest time possible. When you remove a tile that covers a mine, the mine will explode and you loose the game. When you take too long to reach the objective, you will lose as well.

The number of undiscovered mines is displayed in the upper left corner of the game window. The game time is displayed in the upper right corner.

Mouse button 1: removes a tile Mouse button 2: flags a mine (three state toggle) Mouse button 1 + 2: removes a tile and its surrounding tiles

When you remove a tile, it will hint the number of surrounding mines. When you remove a tile that has no surrounding mines, the surrounding tiles will be removed automatically to save you some time.

The game has three skill levels: Beginner, Intermediate and Expert, each with an increasing number of tiles and mines. Select the desired level from the Game menu, or define your own Custom game level.

Requires: The latest Java runtime from the official Haiku repositories. At the time of writing, installing openjdk21_default will see you through.
