Rules of Master Mind

Master Mind is played by two players, one is the Codemaker. In this game it's the computer who is the Codemaker. The other one is the Codebreaker and that's you. To start the game you just have to click on the "New"- button and a combination of 4 Code Pegs is hidden behind the 4 Codeholes. One colour can appear more then one times. Your job is to find out the secret code behind the Codeholes. To do that you have to place some Code Pegs in the first row, and click the "Check"- button to find out how many of the Code Pegs are in the right position and the right colour. Then the Codemaker must give information by placing the black and white Key Pegs alongside the Code Pegs. A black Key Peg is placed for every Code Peg which is the same colour and in exactly the same position as one of the Code Pegs in the Codeholes. A white Key Peg is placed for each hidden Code Peg which is matched in colour but not position by the peg placed by the Codebreaker. A vacant Key Peg hole is left for every Code Peg placed by the Codebreaker that is incorrect. You have 10 times to find out the secret Code before you lose the game. In this version you also play against the clock. The winner is the one with least number of rows and the best time.
