I think he may have found out what the little flags are actually for. Wait 'til he learns how to cheat in that game, oh my, it'll be all over.

I've never bothered to figure out what the flags are. I prefer the "Poke and Hope" school of Minesweeper.

It's pretty simple once you know what to do. Each number tells how many bombs that block is touching. When you look at the adjacent blocks you'll find that those blocks most likely share a bomb or two or three etc. depending on the numbers. You place flags on the most logical spots where you think the bombs are, then you win. (I have conquered this game)

With regards the cheating, I think he's referring to the fact you click both mouse buttons at once, if there's a mine there or adjacent it won't activate, otherwise if it's in a 0(zero) square it will reveal the linked zeroes

People don't even know what the flags are for or exactly how to play, so I can see people wanting to cheat. Whatever makes them happy in life

cheating in minesweeper; what will they think of next. Who you going to impress???? Actually I haven't played the game in years. But it was the first computer game I've ever played.
