Xmines is an X11 game, built using the Xt toolkit intrinsics and Athena widgets, in which the player attempts to cross a minefield without getting blown up. The mines game was originally written as a suntools game (called minestool) by Tom Anderson of Fluke. Brian Dalio of Silicon Compilers made some enhancements, and Jim McBeath of Silicon Compilers (at Globetrotter Software as of April 1990) converted it to X11 and made other enhancements. The History file contains more details, and the signatures of the authors. The man page describes how to play the game and how to customize it using resources. Xmines is copyrighted with an X11-style copyright that allows for free redistribution (see any of the C files for exact wording). -Jim McBeath 10.Sep.1990
