+"#Chapter 12: Mines "
+"\n"
+"You have a grid of covered squares, some of which contain mines, but "
+"you don't know which. Your job is to uncover every square which does "
+"_not_ contain a mine. If you uncover a square containing a mine, you "
+"lose. If you uncover a square which does not contain a mine, you "
+"are told how many mines are contained within the eight surrounding "
+"squares. "
+"\n"
+"This game needs no introduction; popularised by Windows, it is "
+"perhaps the single best known desktop puzzle game in existence. "
+"\n"
+"This version of it has an unusual property. By default, it will "
+"generate its mine positions in such a way as to ensure that you "
+"never need to _guess_ where a mine is: you will always be able "
+"to deduce it somehow. So you will never, as can happen in other "
+"versions, get to the last four squares and discover that there are "
+"two mines left but you have no way of knowing for sure where they "
+"are. "
+"\n"
+"\n#12.1 Mines controls "
+"\n"
+"This game is played with the mouse. "
+"\n"
+"If you left-click in a covered square, it will be uncovered. "
+"\n"
+"If you right-click in a covered square, it will place a flag which "
+"indicates that the square is believed to be a mine. Left-clicking in "
+"a marked square will not uncover it, for safety. You can right-click "
+"again to remove a mark placed in error. "
+"\n"
+"If you left-click in an _uncovered_ square, it will `clear around' "
+"the square. This means: if the square has exactly as many flags "
+"surrounding it as it should have mines, then all the covered squares "
+"next to it which are _not_ flagged will be uncovered. So once you "
+"think you know the location of all the mines around a square, you "
+"can use this function as a shortcut to avoid having to click on each "
+"of the remaining squares one by one. "
+"\n"
+"If you uncover a square which has _no_ mines in the surrounding "
+"eight squares, then it is obviously safe to uncover those squares in "
+"turn, and so on if any of them also has no surrounding mines. This "
+"will be done for you automatically; so sometimes when you uncover a "
+"square, a whole new area will open up to be explored. "
+"\n"
+"You can also use the cursor keys to move around the minefield. "
+"Pressing the return key in a covered square uncovers it, and in "
+"an uncovered square will clear around it (so it acts as the left "
+"button), pressing the space bar in a covered square will place a "
+"flag (similarly, it acts as the right button). "
+"\n"
+"All the actions described in section 2.1 are also available. "
+"\n"
+"Even Undo is available, although you might consider it cheating to "
+"use it. If you step on a mine, the program will only reveal the mine "
+"in question (unlike most other implementations, which reveal all of "
+"them). You can then Undo your fatal move and continue playing if you "
+"like. The program will track the number of times you died (and Undo "
+"will not reduce that counter), so when you get to the end of the "
+"game you know whether or not you did it without making any errors. "
+"\n"
+"(If you really want to know the full layout of the grid, which other "
+"implementations will show you after you die, you can always use the "
+"Solve menu option.) "
+"\n"
+"\n#12.2 Mines parameters "
+"\n"
+"The options available from the `Custom...' option on the `Type' menu "
+"are: "
+"\n"
+"_Width_, _Height_ "
+"\n"
+"Size of grid in squares. "
+"\n"
+"_Mines_ "
+"\n"
+"Number of mines in the grid. You can enter this as an absolute "
+"mine count, or alternatively you can put a % sign on the end "
+"in which case the game will arrange for that proportion of the "
+"squares in the grid to be mines. "
+"\n"
+"Beware of setting the mine count too high. At very high "
+"densities, the program may spend forever searching for a "
+"solvable grid. "
+"\n"
+"_Ensure solubility_ "
+"\n"
+"When this option is enabled (as it is by default), Mines will "
+"ensure that the entire grid can be fully deduced starting "
+"from the initial open space. If you prefer the riskier grids "
+"generated by other implementations, you can switch off this "
+"option. "
