What is MineSweeper?
Just an other implemantation of the MineSweeper game you know from Microsoft Windows.
In contrast to other implementations like the MineHunt provided by 3Com on the PalmPilot CD , MineSweeper is using the grayscale features of the PalmPilot. Instead of 2 color black-and-white, MineSweeper provides 4-gray-color graphics.

How to play MineSweeper
The object of the game is to find all the mines on the playing field without uncovering any of them.

To uncover a field, tap on it. If it is a mine, you lose. If a number appears on the field, it specifies how many
mines are in the eight neighborhood fields. To mark a field you suspect contains a mine, there are three ways: put the pen on a neighborhood field and move the pen to the field you like to mark, or press the up or down button while tap on the field to mark, or tap the bomb in the header and then tap the field you like to mark.
Tap on a marked field to mark it with a question mark, if you are you are uncertain about it.
