What is Hexmines?

Hexmines is a game of logic, where your task is to find a path through a minefield. For each position (hex) you step on, you are informed on the number of neighbor hexes in which there are mines. If you step on a hex with a mine, you lose. You can mark hexes with mines by clicking while pressing a chosen modifier key. The game has more help in the built-in help boxes.

The game has basically the same rules as the game of Mines by Daniel Griscom, which is the Mac version of a SunTools game by Tom Anderson. The main differences are:

• Hexagonal grid.
• High score list, listing players who have won with the highest number of mines in the minefield.
• Auto-searching through empty areas (a feature also included in Daniel Griscom's version).
• In color when available. 8-bit color is recommended. In 4 bits, it looks best in grayscales.
• "Superclick" feature.
