Example game, part 2

Minestein:game_7
7. Now the user returns to use the knowledge that the 1 at 4,3 cannot be touching any more mines. Left clicking on 4,2 has revealed a cell with score 0. When this happens the program automatically reveals all the cells around the 0, and if any of those are 0, it reveals their neighbours too, and so on. Hence we reach the position shown here. What next? Well, the 1 at 3,3 is also already touching a flag so the hidden cell at 2,2 can be revealed.


Minestein:game_8
8. That cell turns out to be a 3. Now the user notices that the 1s at 1,4 and 2,4 are not touching any flags and are only touching one hidden cell. This cell must be a mine.


Minestein:game_9
9. The cell has been flagged and now it is easy to finish.


Minestein:game_10
10. The 1 at 2,3 is touching a flag so the user has safely uncovered the hidden cell touching it to reveal a 3. Now both the 3s need another two mines and the two 1s each need a mine.
Minestein:game_11

11. The user has flagged one of the remaining cells. The program recognises that there's one more mine to locate and only one more cell, so it declares success and all the smileys look very happy. Whoopee!
