/**

 * Class to handle loading and saving of data

 *

 * You must write 4 methods

 *

 * loadMineField – loads mine field definition

 *

 * saveMineField – saves minefield

 *

 * Here the only concern is loading/saving a mine field definition file where -1

 * denotes a mine, and any non-negative number is safe.

 *

 * saveGame – saves the entire game state

 *

 * loadGame – loads the game state

 *

 * For a game we need both the mines and the exposed array data. Unfortunately

 * the given MineField class (which you cannot change) does not provide a way to

 * set that.

 *

 * Take a look at documentation for MineFieldIO and see if you can think of a

 * way to use that shell class to help you.
