4.1 Scoring

• Scoring is based on how big the field is, how many mines there are, and the time that it took you to complete the level.

5.1 Troubleshooting

• You get a memory full error- Delete other programs to make room for Brick Block.
• I don't know how to transfer the program to my calc- Read the instructions that came with your link software.
• You still don't understand how to play the game- Read the help file that came with the Minesweeper game that comes on all windows platforms.
