Description

Mastermind is a computer adaptation in BASIC of the well known board game. The computer has a code of four coloured pegs and the player must guess the code. After each guess the computer will inform the player of the amount of pegs which are of the right colour and which are in the right position. The goal is to guess the code in as few turns as possible.
