Non-deterministic Minesweeper

Tired of having to guess in a game of minesweeper? Worry no more!

This is a variation of Minesweeper game where you only lose if the move is certainly wrong! This turns the game into a 100% logic game with no luck involved, and makes any ratio of mine/free space playable. This is a screenshot of a game with 50% mines where I went pretty far:

It pretty much works, but there is still a few things to be done.

To do:

Display why the player lost. This is not trivial in the non-deterministic variant, as the game will have to prove it is impossible to find a mine configuration that leaves the field in a consistent configuration.
Obey the real probabilities of a given configuration to manifest. Right now, when commiting to a given mine configuration as the player opens new spaces, the chances are not consistent with uniform random distribution of mines.
Improve performance on the corner cases. This may not be always possible, as the problem of finding if there is a valid mine configuration for a given minesweeper field is NP-Hard. If you play normally as you would do in a normal minesweeper game, the problem is still easy enough that it does not interfere with the game play. But if you start doing crazy things, expect to wait many minutes of 100% CPU usage for your move to complete.

Flags don't show

Installed using Cargo from GitHub. Tried on Windows and Mac. Unless I'm playing the game wrong, when you right-click a tile it's considered to be flagged, however I don't see this. The tile remains unchanged, however you can't left click on it to reveal it, so I assume it's being flagged okay in the backend, just not displaying correctly.

Let me know if there's any diagnostic information that'd be of use.

Awesome project by the way, really interesting concept that fixes my biggest gripe with Minesweeper!
