3. Using KMastermind

3.1 Playing the game

Note : this part of the documentation isn't very good at the moment. I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with this...

The goal of KMastermind is the guess a secret code. This code consists of a combination of 6 different colors (black, red, yellow, white, green, blue). You can guess a number of times what the code is. After each guess you'll get information about the secret code. Two numbers indicate how many of you're colors were placed on the right place and had the correct color. The second number indicates how many of you're colors were correct, but not on the right place.

I don't know the exact rules for Mastermind, if someone knows these rules please contact pte@ddsw.nl.

You can play by clicking with the mouse, at the moment you cannot play without a mouse (this will probably not be changed).
