A master mind solver implemented by Rust.
Usage: master_mind_rust [OPTIONS] [COLOR_NUM] [PIN_NUM]
Arguments:
[COLOR_NUM] number of colors [default: 6]
[PIN_NUM] number of pins [default: 4]
Options:
-n, --non-duplicate codes do not have duplicate colors
-p, --policy <POLICY> policy for choosing guess [default: minmax] [possible values: firstpick, minmax]
-m, --mode <MODE> mode of execution [default: guess] [possible values: guess, mktree, benchmark]
-h, --help Print help
In this mode, the solver attempts to find the user's secret code. The user must provide feedback for the solver's guesses. Feedback consists of a pair of the number of hits and blows.
- hit: The number of pins that are correctly matched in both number(color) and position to the secret code.
- blow: The number of pins that match the secret code in number(color) but are positioned differently.
Example: If secret code is [1, 2, 3, 4] and guess code is [0, 1, 2, 3], then the feedback: (hit, blow) is (0, 3).
Example: If secret code is [1, 2, 3, 4] and guess code is [0, 0, 3, 3], then the feedback: (hit, blow) is (1, 0).
Generates trial paths for all possible secret codes. This mode is useful for evaluating the efficiency of policies. It is also used in benchmark mode.
Measures the time required to make trial paths for various configurations. It is usefull for profiling the performance of this solver.
