Mastermind is a two player board game. In this game, one of the player sets a code using different colored pegs and the other player guesses to match that code in certain number of tries. The code setter player is called code-maker and the code guesser player is called code-breaker.The code-maker, after every guess, does provide hints, to the code-breaker. This game is mostly visual and easy to play but by building it as a computer program I learned how human process information differently as compared to a machine. Programming the logic for computing those hints based on the guess answer was probably the hardest problem of the game to solve. To begin with, I started by building a basic command-line interface game, so as to get the main logic right. Getting the user guess as input and matching with code was fairly straightforward. I generated a random 4-digit code, with each digit in range 0-6. This 4-digit code would essentially serve as basis for representing colored pegs. ...
