Mastermind in Python

Mastermind implemented on Python.

Works on Python 3.9 +

Currently only the computer solver has been implemented.

Future version will had single and two player modes.

To run the solver, run mastermind.py:

python mastermind.py

Command line arguments

The script can take the following arguments:

-l code_length -c number_colors -t number_tries -p gamemode -ca solving_algorithm

Where gamemode is one of :

• 1p : 1 player guesses a random code
• 2p : 2 players against each other, default mode
• c : a computer guess a random code, default value

solving_algorithm is only avaible if gamemode is set to c, and must be one of:

• minmax : default algorithm

For example, this command:

python mastermind.py -c 8 -l 6

Will solve a random code of 8 colors, of length 6.

By default, arguments are as follow:

python mastermind.py -l 4 -c 6 -t 10 -p c -ca minmax
