Introduction

This is a clone (yes, one more!) of MineSweeper for CP/M with supported
CRTs, derived from the plain CP/M version (and itself from the Amstrad
PCW & Samaruc GUI version).

It should run in any version of the CP/M operating system and a Z80 CPU.

This version is patched to work with a VT100 terminal only and it uses
color ANSI codes.


The game

The aim of the game is to find all the mines on the board, putting a
flag on them and uncovering the other squares.

If you uncover a mine, you lose the game.

There are three different levels: * Level 1 : 08 x 08 squares, 08 mines
* Level 2 : 08 x 12 squares, 12 mines * Level 3 : 08 x 16 squares, 16
mines


How to play

In the board, a number on a square means the quantity of mines around
it.

To uncover a square, you must enter a command telling its position as
row and column - ie:

    1C

To put or remove a flag on a square, you must append a F character to
the command - ie:

    3DF


Technical notes

To compile, use MESCC, "Mike's Enhanced Small C Compiler". All files
neccessary (and only these) to compile the game are included. The
complete package of MESCC can be found in its repository:

https://github.com/MiguelVis/mescc

Compile it using:

    CC FTM
    CCOPT FTM
    ZSM FTM
    HEXTOCOM FTM

The game uses Codepage 437 border characters as default, if your
terminal cannot display these, remove #define CP437 from FTM.C and
recompile it.
