Description

Mastermind is a computer implementation of the classic board game. The player must guess a code of four randomly chosen numbers. After each guess the player learns the number of "black" and "white" pegs, respectively numbers in the right position and numbers which are in the code, but on a different position. Numbers can appear multiple times in the same code.
