How to play

The provided instructions will teach you how to interact with this bot. If you don't know how to play vanilla Minesweeper, I recommend this article.

• Start a new game with the /start command. The interface is composed of the board, displayed with emojis, the left tiles counter, the turn counter, and the name of the user.

• Reveal cells with /r <row> <column>. You'll need to provide the coordinates of your cell: they're displayed in the border of the board, the rows being represented with letters and columns with numbers. For example, /r a 0 will reveal the cell in the top left side.

• Your first reveal will always be in an empty cell for safety.

• Same as /r, you can place flags with /f <row> <column>. If a number cell has as many flags as its display number as neighbour, revealing the cell will automatically reveal the rest of neighbours.

• The game advances one turn each action. You will be notified if you win or lose.

• Cancel your game with /cancel.
