Game Rules

• The game is played on a square grid consisting of cells.
• Some cells contain hidden mines, while others are safe.
• The player's objective is to uncover all safe cells without detonating any mines.
• Each safe cell reveals a number indicating the count of adjacent cells containing mines.
• The player can use this information to deduce the positions of the mines.
• If a mine is triggered, the game ends, and the player loses.
• If all safe cells are uncovered, the game ends, and the player wins.
