Minefield 1.0 - Bring men across a minefield to safety.

Minefield

Minefield: Minefield is a game in which you have to bring as many men as you can across the minefield to safety (marked by a blue flag). You start at the bottom right square of a grid of up to 20 x 15 squares and use the arrow keys on the keyboard to move your man towards the flag. You die if he steps on a mine (duh!). The minefield is randomly generated when you start a game, but the mines stay where they are throughout the game so you have to try to remember where they are. In addition to the mines, you also have to avoid up to 2 snakes and 2 ghosts. Snakes can only move on squares which do not contain mines, whereas ghosts can move anywhere in the grid. You may, on occasion, pick up a map or invincibility potion. The map shows you the location of every mine in the grid, whereas the potion makes you invincible (ie. cannot be killed by mine, snake nor ghost), for a period of time. You may sometimes also be blown to another square by a strong gust of wind (this can only happen if you step on a square that does not contain a mine). Minefield has plenty of customizable settings. It is also skinable - you can replace all the graphics with your own.
