The user can place a flag in a suspected mine position

If the user believes a mine occupies a space, they can set that space to be flagged.

Flags have the following constraints:

• Only as many flags as there are bombs are available to the user
• If a flag occupies an empty space, that space cannot be cleared until the user removes the flag
• The game must consider all flags before completion - correctly placed flags are accepted, incorrectly placed flags are not.

User can start a new game at any time

The user does not have to finish a game or lose, to start a new game. A new game can be created by selecting a difficulty level.

Win conditions

The user has won the game if:

All squares not containing a mine have been revealed.
