Description

The Random Number Game is a Mastermind variant with numbers. The player determines the length of the code after which the computer thinks of a random number code of that length. The player inputs guess and hears how many of the guessed numbers are in the correct position, and how many numbers are in the code but in a different position. Through logical deduction the player must determine the hidden code.
