This isn't Mine Sweeper, it's Mine Detector. It's objectives are to be
completely a logic game (no guessing required) and to model the reality of a
mine field better than Mine Sweeper. Unless you're dropping paratroopers in,
it's unrealistic to step in the middle of a mine field. You work your way in
from the edges, guided by the information you have from your sensor (the numbers
on cells). Stepping on unnumbered cells is guessing, which I've tried to eliminate.
