A mastermind game in Haskell developed during the Munihac 2016.
Clone this repository.
You only need GHCi to run the game on your terminal.
In your terminal, go to the directory where you stored MasterMind.hs and start GHCi. Start the game by typing main.
There are two options, (H)uman and (C)omputer. If you select C then the computer will play on its own and will always win after a few guesses. If you select H then you can play yourself. You need to guess a sequence of four numbers between 1 and 6 (a single number might appear several times). Enter your guesses by typing the numbers separated by whitespaces. The computer will then reveal the number of black guesses (correct number in the correct position) and the number of white guesses (correct number in the wrong position) and with this information you can guess again. The number of guesses is actually not limited, so sooner or later you will either win or end up in an infinite loop. Below you see a sample (human) game:
Is the player a (H)uman or a (C)omputer?
> H
> 1 2 3 4
2 black,
0 white.
> 1 2 1 1
0 black,
0 white.
> 5 5 3 4
3 black,
0 white.
> 6 5 3 4
Yay!! You're a mastermind.
If that's too easy you can change in the code the parameters
colors = 6 -- How many different numbers
width = 4 -- Length of the sequence
to whatever you like.
