it with the A-Key.
The first number at the top left hand corner indicates the number of mines in
the field. This number will decrease by 1 every time you MARK a block. If you
have marked an empty block as mine-filled, you will definitely explode when
turning over all other non-marked block which will not be completely mine
free in this case. When an empty block is turned over, a number will reveal.
This number is the total mines hidden within the surrounding blocks. This
usually means the neighbouring 8 blocks with itself being in the centre. You
