๐Ÿ“œ Mastermind History

Mastermind is a board game invented in 1970 by Israeli mathematician Mordechai Meirowitz. It's a beloved logic puzzle game worldwide that helps develop reasoning and logical thinking skills.

It's also popular as a computer game and is used as educational material for programming learning.

๐ŸŽฒ Difference from Hit and Blow
Mastermind
  • Uses colors for guessing
  • Visual and easy to understand
  • Physical pin manipulation
  • Feedback with colored pins
Hit and Blow
  • Uses numbers for guessing
  • Requires mental arithmetic
  • Record with paper and pen
  • Result display with 'X hits Y blows'

Both have the same rules, but Mastermind is more intuitive and enjoyable for young children.

๐ŸŽฎ Detailed Rules
1. Game Preparation

The computer decides 4 colors (the secret answer). You need to guess the combination and order of these colors.

2. How to Guess

Choose your favorite colors from the 6 colors below and decide on 4 colors. Click on colors and they will automatically be placed from left to right.

3. Reading Hints
Orange pin: Both color and position are correct!
White pin: Color is correct, but position is wrong

Example: 2 orange, 1 white means '2 are perfect, 1 is color-only correct'.

4. Victory Condition

When you get 4 orange pins, you have the complete correct answer and win! Try to get the correct answer within 8 attempts.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips
  • Use as many different colors as possible at first to gather information
  • Keep using positions where orange pins appeared
  • Try white pin colors in different positions
  • Look carefully at previous results to plan your next guess
