This is a MasterMind game written in Java, for a uni project.
[DISCLAIMER: I realised that there are some parts of the game that i got wrong (in example the checking algorithm). I will be correcting that soon]
Please, before changing the game mode, especially mid-game, do remember to press reset button in the main menu. Occasionally [Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.util.ConcurrentModificationException] will show in the console. It doesn't affect the gameplay, and I have not yet found the reason for it. If you find the way to fix it before me, go ahead, but I recommend to not bother.
This is the main menu of the game. You have two levels of difficulty to choose from, option to read the instructions [Polish], reset the game or quit.
After you press the 'Play' button you will see the following image. The game will not start until you press Q W E R or A S D F. Time: null is an indicator of a game not yet started.
Screenshot below shows in game interface. When the game is started you will see the running time in the top right corner. After you win or loose the game the time will stop. Please be aware that times are not being saved yet, so in order to compare yourself, you should write it down before quiting the game.
Guess the hidden code!
Mastermind is a puzzle board game invented in 1970 by Mordechai Meirowitz, an Israeli postmaster and telecommunications expert.
Your task is to find a hidden code consisting of four colors. You can select the colors by pressing Q W E R (also A S D F), and confirm your choice with the SPACE key. On the left side displays the number of colors in the right position, and on the right side, the number of well-chosen colors in the wrong position. You have 12 tries, with each next one you are getting closer to finding the right combination!
Having trouble guessing the code? Try 'Easy' mode, where the colors of the combination cannot be repeated.
This game is fully completed however it could use some improvements in the future. In the future I want to make the count of the right colors and right colors in the wrong positions appear next to the current row player is at. I will want to add automatic time saving mechanism and a leaderboard. Optional are mid-game backup and third game mode allowing for one player to choose the combination and the other one to guess it.
To build this game I mainly followed Fatal Cubez's 2048 Tutorial Series. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLig6-gM-fHMGH6jmCpsxW6YbagHgCS3Jd It has many interesting ideas, so check it out.
