MasterMind game 🧠
HackDay: Coding the game MasterMind
Mastermind is a board game of ingenuity and reflection for two players. It is played on a board with small black and white tiles and other colors, of a somewhat larger size. One of the players chooses a number of colored tiles, 4 in the original game, and puts a secret code hidden from the other player.

User(s) flow to play 🎮
The idea of the game is for one player (the code-breaker) to guess the secret code chosen by the other player (the code-maker). The code is a sequence of 4 colored pegs chosen from six colors available. The code-breaker makes a serie of pattern guesses — after each guess the code-maker gives feedback in the form of 2 numbers, the number of pegs that are of the right color and in the correct position, and the number of pegs that are of the correct color but not in the correct position — these numbers are usually represented by small black and white pegs.

Like you see in the image, the first line is the secret combination that you need to guess, and the line of balls of different colors on the left are your tries, and at the same time the machine will give you a feedback with the pines (right): if you guess in one ball, they will change to red.
