- C64 CODEBREAKER
-
- by David Holz

-
- How to play:
-
- This is a clone of the popular (?)
- board (?) game Mastermind. There is a
- hidden 4-color code which you must
- deduce in a limited number of tries.
- To load up & start the game, enter the
- following:
-
- The machine will take a second or two
- to generate the secret code, and
- present you with 4 slots to make a
- guess. Use the cursor left/right keys
- to select a slot, cursor up/down to
- select one of the 6 available colors,
- and Return to finish your guess.
-
- The black number is the number of
- slots that you guessed correctly. The
- white number is the number of colors
- in your guess that are in the secret
- code, but you've placed in the wrong
- slot. You've got 10 tries to crack the
- code.
-
- Note that the hidden code will never
- contain any duplicated colors. That
- was an annoying requirement to
- implement, so you'd better appreciate
- it. ;)
-
- The game will loop until you either
- win or take aggressive measures
- against your computer. Type RUN to
- play again.
-
- For only 415 bytes (including 2-byte
- file header), this game contains a
- decent but bloated random code
- generator, a score calculator, a BASIC
- loader, and challenging intellectual
- game play. There are 353 bytes of
- actual code. I'm pretty happy with
- the way this thing turned out, as I
- haven't done any 6510 coding in a
- LOOONG time! :)
