About this game

Mastermind is a traditional game of logic, ingenuity and reflection, which consists of guessing a secret code made up of a sequence of colors.
It is also known as code breaker, code breaking, bulls & cows, codebreaker and master mind

Code maker
• the application generates the secret code automatically.
Code breaker
• the player must guess the secret code.

game modes
◉ CLASSIC : is the traditional game mode, much more difficult. The position of each clue does not correspond to the position of each color, you have to guess which color each clue corresponds to, therefore, the position of each clue is random.
◉ INITIATION : The position of each clue corresponds to the position of each color, that is, the clue of the first position corresponds to the color of the first position, and so on.

types of game
● Mini 4: secret code of 4 colors.
● Super 5: secret code of 5 colors.
● Mega 6: secret code of 6 colors.
● Giant 7: secret code of 7 colors.
● Colossus 8: secret code of 8 colors.
● Titan 9: secret code of 9 colors.

Game layout (from left to right)
• Top row: the button to access the settings, the red shield that hides the secret code and the buttons to open and close the shield.
• Column 1: Records.
• Column 2: Numerical sequence that establishes the order to follow in the game.
• Column 3: Clues.
• Column 4: Rows where the colors must be placed to guess the code.
• Column 5: Colors in play.

How to play?
• The colors must be placed in the desired position of the row in play.
• The rows are filled consecutively from the first to the last, the order can not be altered; When a row is filled, it is blocked and it is passed to the next row.
• Once the row in play is complete, the clues appear.
• If before the end of the game the shield is opened to see the secret code, it will be possible to continue playing but the game will not be taken into account for the records.
• The game ends when the secret code is guessed or when the last row is completed.
• Auto save / load.

Types of movement
• Drag and drop.
• Press the desired color and then press destination position.

What do the clues indicate?
● Black Color: A color that exists in the secret code has been placed in the correct position.
● White Color: A color that exists in the secret code has been placed in the wrong position.
● Empty: A color that does not exist in the secret code has been placed.

Row in play (is highlighted)
• Delete a color: drag and drop it out of the row.
• Change a position color: drag and drop it in the desired position.
• Place colors: you can select them from the column where all the available colors are, or from any row that contains colors.

Set a color in all rows
• make a long press on a color placed on the board and it will be placed in the same position of all the upper rows. If you make a long press on the same color again, it will be deleted.

Records
• In the first column, the minor row where the game has been resolved will be marked.
• There is a different record for each combination of game type, level and options.
• You will only be able to erase a record at the start of each game, when the first row is not completed.
• To erase a record you have to drag the mark out of its position.

Options:
• You can play with numbers, colors, letters, shapes, animals and emoticons (smileys).
• autocomplete: available for the initiation level. When a color is in the correct position, when moving to the next row, it appears automatically.
• Repeated colors: the secret code may contain repeated colors.
• Extra color

Works well as solitaire. Does not have a two player option. Such would be nice to have. I.e where one human sets the code and lends phone to another human to solve. This could also be used to produce (almost) infallible clues for a real life physical game. Should be relatively easy to implement. Having phone guess the human's hidden answer is also a feasible extension, but a lot more work. (I (tried to) leave this asked-and-answered as perhaps a useful way to inform other readers).

Hi, if you look at all my games you will see another mastermind, it is for two users but not online, to play on the same device. Thank you very much. /store/apps/dev?id=8500759870279854492

App works great, I don't understand the negative reviews. I am running the game on a phone that's about 5 years old... No problems whatsoever. Each round takes about 3-6 minutes with a 2 to 5 second advertisement between. Not bad at all. Thank you for not inundating us with so many ads that we are forced to delete the game. Great Job. Thank You!

While it's a good game, I'm now being regularly cookie walled with a vast list of data vampires, some of the cookies are for TEN YEARS. I can reject the cookies but it takes several minutes to work my way down the list. You should have a "reject all" button or slider. Reluctantly uninstalling.

They are European Union regulations, Google's consent dialog is standard for applications, but as things are, it is increasingly difficult for developers to comply with the European Union and Google regulations. I will soon publish a 5-color mastermind, free and without advertising. Thank you very much and sorry for the inconvenience.
