Minesweeper Version 1.0
Readme
By Lucas Yerpe


It's minesweeper for the TI-83 Plus! I'm sorry that I made this a group
file at quite an inconvenience, but it was the best way to cut down on
size. The .8xg contains three files, all of which are necessary to the
game:

 - MINES.8xp - the game itself.
 - ZZMINES.8xp - this is the routine that moves the cursor.
 - Pic2.8xi - this is the gameboard. It's simple enough to have drawn
   in the program, but it was too many 'Horizontal' and 'Vertical'
   commands, so I just made a picture.

You could probably play without the picture, but the game would
eventually get pretty weird.

OBJECT OF GAME:

 - You must clear a field of mines. Use the cursor to move around. When
   you select a box, a number appears. This number indicates how many
   mines immediately surround that box. Use these numbers to move
   around the mines. You win when you've cleared the minefield, and you
   lose if you step on a mine.

HOW TO PLAY:

 - Send 'Mines.8xg' to your calculator.
 - Bring up the [MEM] menu. Select option number 8.
 - Select MINES, and ungroup it.
 - If you want, you can archive Pic2. However, the program
   automatically does this for you.

KEYPRESSES:

 2nd   - Selects a square. Square will not be selected if a flag is
         placed, or that square has already been selected.
 ALPHA - Places or removes a flag. Flags are mostly used for pointing
         out mines, and a flagged square cannot be selected.
 Arrow - Moves the cursor.
 CLEAR - Pauses the game.

ENDING THE GAME:

 Winning - When you have cleared the mine by bringing up the 100 hidden
           numbers, all flags are placed over all mines and you are
           greeted with a 'You win!'
 Losing  - If you 'step' on a mine, all mines are revealed and the game
           ends.

PAUSING?:

 - Yeah, it sounds pretty useless, since there isn't a timer. Actually,
this feature is to prevent the calculator from continuously working
while you're not. You know that MEMORY error the calculator gives if a
Basic program runs for too long? This is to safeguard against that.
 - The calculator will APD (Auto Power-Down) during the pause (if left
long enough, of course). This does not terminate the program.

LIMITS TO THIS VERSION:

 - There are only five mines...
 - You can cheat.

HOW TO CHEAT:

 - It's actually not that hard, so I'll let you figure it out yourself.
   This is something I hope to fix in, hopefully, my next version.
