A left-click is used to enter a square.
Squares containing a red flag may contain a bomb and therefore cannot be entered.
When a square without a flag is entered its colour changes and its secret is revealed.
If an entered square contains a bomb, it explodes and is displayed on a red background: the game is lost.
If an entered square is empty, its icon changes to a number indicating the number of surrounding bombs (the square's Danger level).
If an entered square has a Danger level of zero, the contents of neighbouring squares are also revealed - propagated effect.
