XBOMB Version 2.1
=================
A program that looks superficially like the minesweeper program that
comes supplied with MS Windows (and is also available in other
versions). Runs under X Windows on the UNIX operating system.
Features
- --------
There are a number of features that make this version different from
the others available (that I have seen).
3 Grid Tile options
Hexagonal - Easy (the endgame can be difficult).
Square - Traditional.
Triangular - Difficult.
3 Grid sizes
Small - 8x8 with 10 bombs
Medium - 16x16 with 40 bombs
Large - 30x16 with 99 bombs
Highscore table
10 entries for the fastest times for each of the 3 levels of
each of the 3 grid shapes.
Includes manual page with details on how to use the program.
