🎮 How to Play

The objective is simple: clear the grid of hidden squares without triggering any mines. Here’s how you can navigate the game:

1. Reveal Tiles:

• Left-click on a tile to reveal it.
• If the tile contains a number, it indicates how many mines are adjacent.
• If the tile is empty, it will automatically reveal surrounding empty tiles until a number is encountered.
• Clicking on a mine ends the game.

2. Flag Tiles:

• Right-click to place a flag on a tile where you suspect a mine is hidden.
• Right-click again to remove the flag.

3. Powerups:

Powerups randomly appear on the grid, and you can collect them by clicking on their tile. They provide unique abilities to assist you:

• Flag Surrounding Mines: Automatically flags all mines surrounding a revealed tile.
• Reveal All Mines Temporarily: Briefly displays the locations of all mines. Use this time wisely to plan your next moves!

4. Game Over Conditions:

• You reveal a mine (Game Over).
• You successfully uncover all non-mined tiles (Victory!).
