Quick Description
If you've been exposed to Windows for more than 1/2 hour, you've probably stumbled into a popular
game like this. The idea is simple: Find all the bombs and flag them, but don't disturb one, or it
will explode. The game will time you, and keep track of your best time on each difficulty setting.
A number in a particular square tells you how many adjascent squares have bombs in them. Use this
information to make an educated guess where all the bombs are, and give them a red flag (3rd soft-key
under the LCD display). A flagged cell is safe from being disturbed. If you are unsure of a square,
but wish to protect it for now, you may place a question-mark on it (center soft-key). You may remove
either a flag, or a question mark later by using the same key again. To clear a cell you are sure does
not contain a bomb, use the 1st soft-key. When entering a high-score, you may enter up to 3 letters,
then select "END".
Installation
To install the game, extract the files from the .ZIP file onto your computer. Connect your
Digital Camera (Kodak DC290 only is supported), and open an explorer window (I'm assuming you're
using "Windows". Browse to your camera (it should be listed under "My Computer"). Copy the .BMP
files you extracted from the .ZIP into the main folder of your camera (the root). Then copy the .CAM
file into the System folder in your camera.
Running the game
Switch your camera to REVIEW mode. Scroll all the way to the right-most page in the menus. You should
see "BmbSweep.cam" listed there. Select it, and your camera will automatically shut-off. When you turn the
power back on, the game will boot (it takes about 5 seconds). To return to the cameras' normal operation,
cycle the power again.

Free.
Bugs/Problems
The backgrounds used in the game were aquired from the internet. It would be nice to have some original artwork for these backgrounds.
