.SH "NAME"
Hexamine \- Hexagonal Minesweeper

.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.B hexamine
.P
There is no command line option.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Hexamine is a puzzle game. There is a field of hexagonal cells. Each cell can contain a mine of power 1-3 or be empty. The aim is to reveal all the empty cells on the field. Very much like famous Minesweeper.
.P
You can flag the cell with numbers 1-3 by right-clicking on it (repeat to increase the number), if you think there is a mine.
.P
You can open a cell by left-clicking on it. If there is a mine - you loose. Otherwise the cell opens, revealing two numbers in form "<ct>/<ft>", where :
.TP
<ct> - close threat

sum of mine powers in cells, adjacent to cell in question (circle with radius 1 cell),
.TP
<ft> - far threat

sum of mine powers minus one (for each mine: 1->0, 2->1, 3->2) in cells, which are on circle with radius 2 cells.
.P
Close and far threats are totally independent. Any mine can impose either far, close or no threat for any given cell, but not both !
Close threat for cell is marked while mouse cursor is over it.
When you open a cell with close threat 0, it automatically reveals all the adjacent cells.

.P
If you fail, by opening mined field, the game shows all the mines.
If you win, by opening all empty cells, mined cells turn green.

.SH "USAGE"
Start playing with the mouse as soon as the game starts. Press Escape key to quit.
