More about this activity

The grid size ranges from 3x3 to 10x10. Success at each level is necessary before advancing to the next level.

Star Catcher is based on Microsoft's Minesweeper game but is rather more friendly. Firstly we are seeking stars not mines and, secondly, if you play carefully you can always be successful. The weakness in the original game is that at times you have no choice but to guess - guess wrong and you lose! I've solved this problem by 'teaching' my activity to recognise where a guess is the only way forward - when this is the case there is no penalty for a wrong guess.

Star Catcher can be played without using the mouse pad.

arrow keys: move the selection square
