New : High-speed Mode addition. ? MARK ON,OFF addition. Bug fix: stop bug.
High speed mode is at 10 speed but it's extremely easy... I found like 5 mines in 10 floors or something...

It starts out at speed 10, but somewhere around floors 94-100 the speed is 19. I didn't get to go past that in one try since I slipped with the mouse (technically a touch pad) and didn't click on a square in time...

Well, Mine Tower wasn't removed from the site. If you miss the game itself, satisfy your nostalgia and play it. I ended up doing so quite recently, as a matter of fact...

I still don't understand what you are supposed to do...

The objective of the game is to clear all 200 (or 100 on Easy Mode) floors, trying not to reveal any mines. If an uncleared floor reaches the bottom, you lose. If you clear all 100/200 floors before that happens, you win.
You reach your objective by clicking on all squares that are not mines and flagging squares that are mines. When you click on a square, either it will be a mine, it will have a number, or it will be a blank square that reveals adjacent squares.
If you reveal a mine, the screen scrolls down an extra some-odd pixels, bringing an uncleared floor closer to the bottom. Try not to reveal mines. If you know a square is a mine, right-click it once. Unlike Microsoft's Minesweeper, clicking on a mine does not make you lose automatically, but it does scroll the screen down an extra number of pixels.
If you reveal a square with a number, it will indicate how many mines are adjacent to it. In a two dimensional array of squares, the number can be no less than zero and no more than eight. Use logic to determine what squares MUST be mines and what squares MUST NOT be mines. Click squares you know are NOT mines, and right-click squares you know ARE mines.
If you reveal a blank square, your work is already cut out for you.
All the while, the screen scrolls downward. The more floors you successfully clear, the faster the screen will scroll down. In High Speed Mode, you start out with the screen scrolling down 10 pixels per second (pps) and go somewhere above 20 pps (I never completed High Speed Mode). In Normal Mode, you start out at 1 pps and go to 3 pps. In Easy Mode, you start out at 1 pps and go to 2 pps. The faster the screen scrolls, the more difficult the game.

Thanks, General. Now I understand.
