The KMines Screen


The KMines Screen

The KMines screen consists of:

  • A Box showing you the number of mines still left to be marked. Everytime you flag a bomb site, this number will decrease by one.

    Note

    This box does not determine if you are right or wrong, but only how many mines you need to theoretically mark before you are done with this game.

    In this example, there are 10 mines to be marked.

  • A Yellow Smiley Face. Clicking this will start a new game. If you loose the game, it will become a frown.

  • The box on the right, shows how much time this round has taken. The shortest time for each level, gets to list their name as the high score.

  • The playing area. This will vary in size depending on the difficulty level of the game. In this example, it consists of 64 boxes. This is where you play the game.

  • A status line at the bottom of the window. In this example, it simply says Game stopped.
