PurposePurposeMastermind was a popular game of the 70s it's basically a code guessing game. There was a code guessing game that proceeded that called Bagels... They're very similar of course.
Currently developed in VS2005 VB.NET 2.0. Designed to be a simple implementation of Bagels for vb developers who want to play around with Visual Studio to implement board games which is what I basically like to do. I did an assembly language version of this as an exercise so this Windows version just kind of came into existence as a by product.
The front end is very simple. Just using existing controls.
You basically try to guess the number the computer is thinking of (or you can enter a code and let others try to guess it). You get clues about whether number are correct and in the right place. You can ask for a clue. You can vary how many numbers, columns and guesses.
Let me know if you find any of this useful.
Zip file with executable if you want to just install it. Download the zip, extract the files and run setup. Bagels.zip
Actually I'm not sure which files you need to make this work. Let me know if there's a problem. BagelsSource.zip
