KNOWN ISSUES
Unintentional left-clicks when using an touch pad (laptop) or a MagicMouse
There is a known issue distinguishing between intended left-clicks and right-clicks because these two pointing devices do not have physically separate buttons for left-click and right-click. The only work around is to use the hotkeys to force left/right clicks (see below) or to use a difference mouse.
FREQUENT QUESTIONS
"How do I flag mines without a two button mouse?"
If you are using a touchpad or a MagicMouse, you can enable right-click in the system preferences. If you have a non-apple mouse with only one button, or if you don't want to right-click you can use Control-click to flag and Shift-click to reveal surrounding squares.
"How do I change the difficulty?"
Different presents are available from the File menu. Available presets are 8x8, Beginner, Intermediate, Expert, and 24x30. You can also customize the board size and number of mines. Note that Minesweeper 101 is limited to Beginner difficulty only. Upgrade to the full version to play other presets like Intermediate, and Expert, and to custom sizes.
"How do I reveal an all the un-flagged squares with one click?
You can "double-click" by actually double clicking with the left button, or by pressing both left and right buttons simultaneously, or by Shift-clicking. If you have a two button mouse you can chord by right-clicking and holding to flag a square, then (while holding) move to an other square and left-click. This can reduce the number of clicks needed.
"How do I change the number of mines?"
You can change the number of mines and size by using Custom from the File menu, in addition to the preset difficulties available.

I would love it if the clock would stop when I click out of the program. If I get interrupted, I have to start over to attempt a decent score. My MyMahj program stops and masks all tile information so I can't plan a strategy when the clock is stopped.
Good job! I'll never be as good on a Mac as I was on PC (mouse moves differently) but it's still nice to have all the old stats I had in Rodrigo's clone.
Would be awesome if one would be able to use the arrow keys and the enter button on the keyboard, that way avoiding the use of a mouse/trackpad. Much like we're able to do on a pc.
please update the compatibility issue with os x lion! its a fantastic app otherwise
Please (!) could you work out how to keep it from using 180mb of memory? It's awful, currently drains a tonne of free memory..causing me to ragequit..and do some actual work!? I mean, what's with that?! But really, considerably lower memory would be awesome!
Could you add a quick flagging mode because a two finger right click on the trackpad can read as a left click especially when moving quickly. Thanks.
Anyway you could make it so your "wins" and "losses" are recorded? I love seeing my winning percentage along with my top times. Possibly a longest winning streak and current streak also. Thanks
Hey how do you change the size of the board? I know you said use the file menu but how would I get there?
Have the full programme and have no "file" access? Only can use basic level. How do i get the file menu and go to larger games?
allowing you to hold down the left click in order to flag something would dramatically cut down the amount times you accidentally set off a bomb you're trying to flag with the trackpad. this game is almost unplayable on expert because you can never finish without blowing something up you didn't mean to.
Please consider displaying at the end the total distance my mouse travelled during the game. Obviously you track the mouse location so this shouldn't be hard. It will give me a new goal of trying to solve a board with the least distance travelled. Maybe you can include that data in the best times results too.
I don't know what i am doing wrong but I have just bought minesweeper 2.7.2 and can not find 'inspector' or any means to customise
This game will be perfect if it doesn’t flag when double-clicking a square
