Mastermind Game
Welcome to the Mastermind Game! This project presents a classic implementation of the Mastermind game, a code-breaking game where players guess a secret combination of numbers.
Table of Contents
Running the Code:
- Navigate to the Mastermind Game repository.
- Click the green 'Code' button on top of the commit history to open the popover. Then, select the 'Download ZIP' option to download the file to your local machine.
- Find the downloaded file in your download folder and double-click to unzip the file.
- Launch a text editor of your preference. Then, import the unzipped file into the text editor by dragging and dropping it into the editor's interface.
- In your text editor, open the index.html file.
- Right-click on the html file to open the context menu.
- Select "Open with," and choose your preferred web browser from the list of available options (e.g., Google Chrome, Firefox, etc.). If you use a Visual Studio Code, you can also choose 'Open with Live Server [⌘L ⌘O]'
- The application should now open in your selected web browser.
Gameplay Instructions:
Once the game is loaded, follow these steps to play.
- Read all the rules that are displayed on the screen.
- Choose the game's difficulty level by clicking on the easy, medium, or difficult buttons. The game's difficulty is set to medium by default.
- To play the game, input a combination of 4 numbers into the input form and hit the GUESS button or press Enter.
- The input form only accepts a combination of 4 numbers. The warning message will be displayed if you input something other than numbers or input less or more than 4 numbers.
- Depending on the difficulty level, a specific range of numbers is allowed. If you input a number that is out of range, a warning message will be displayed. For example, the easy level only allows you to input numbers that range from 0 to 3 in each digit. So, if you input 1234 as your combination, you'll get the warning message since the number 4 is not allowed.
- After each guess, the computer will provide feedback on how your combination compares to the hidden number.
-
Example of the feedback:
- 2 correct number and 0 correct location
- This means your combination has two correct numbers, but nothing is in the correct location.
- 2correct number and 1 correct location
- This means one number in your guess is in the accurate position and another correct number is in the wrong position.
- 0 correct number and 0 correct location
- This means the hidden number does not include any numbers in your guess.
- 4 correct number and 4 correct location
- This means you get all numbers correctly; you win the game!
- Use the feedback to refine your next guess.
- You have a total of 10 attempts to guess the number. If you run out of attempts, you lose the game. If you guess the correct combination, you win!
- The hidden number combination will be reviewed when the game is finished.
Implementation Details:
The Mastermind Game is implemented using Vanilla JavaScript. Here's an overview of the development process.
Choosing How to Start:
- Decided to utilize Vanilla JavaScript along with simple HTML and CSS. Wanted to focus more on how the game works and kept the front-end simple.
Getting Random Numbers:
- Figured out how to fetch random numbers from random.org. Implemented a robust function to fetch and transform the response into a usable array of number combinations.
User input Validation:
- Implemented a validation protocol by checking for out-of-range numbers, non-numeric characters, and validated the length of the input.
Comparing Guesses:
- Developed a main function to compare the user's guess with the hidden combination, generating feedback on correct numbers and correct locations.
Seamless Input Handling:
- Enhanced user experience by implementing a function to automatically reset input values after each guess, simplifying the gameplay flow.
Feedback Display:
- Provided a feedback display to the user based on comparison results, showing the user how many numbers are right and how many are in the right place.
Result Declaration:
- Established a function to declare game outcomes, ensuring users are promptly informed of their success or failure with hidden combination revelation.
Extension:
To make the game more engaging, difficulty levels were implemented. Users can choose between easy, medium, and difficult levels, each offering a different range of numbers to guess from.
Adding More Challenge:
- Recognized the potential for more interesting gameplay experience through the addition of difficulty levels.
- Implemented difficulty level buttons and provided users with the option to tailor the game's challenge to their preference. The game adjusts based on what users pick.
Dynamic Difficulty Adjustment:
- Engineered a flexible system to dynamically adjust difficulty levels upon user interaction, ensuring seamless integration and alignment of difficulty level mechanics with front-end design.
Dynamic Reset of Hidden Combination:
- Reset the hidden combination when users switch difficulty levels, maintaining gameplay integrity and challenge relevance.
Visual Clarity for Difficulty Selection:
- Incorporated visual indicators to highlight the selected difficulty level, improving user engagement and navigation.

My second JavaScript Project is an interesting game. The Mastermind is a puzzle game, in which one player tries to guess the code their opponent comes up with. I made it with HTML/CSS, JavaScript and jQuery.
