Minesweeper with a couple of grid types

A program that looks superficially like the minesweeper program that comes supplied with MS Windows and is also available in other versions. Runs under X Windows on the UNIX operating system.

Features

There are a number of features that make this version different from the others available that I have seen.

3 Grid Tile options Hexagonal - Easy the endgame can be difficult. Square - Traditional. Triangular - Difficult.

3 Grid sizes Small - 8x8 with 10 bombs Medium - 16x16 with 40 bombs Large - 30x16 with 99 bombs

Highscore table 10 entries for the fastest times for each of the 3 levels of each of the 3 grid shapes.
