SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

12       This is a simple "MasterMind" like game which you can play in human vs.
13       human, human vs. computer or computer vs.  computer mode.  The goal  of
14       the  game  is to crack a secret code consisting of four balls which can
15       each be one of eight colors.  The players takes turn guess  (or  do  it
16       simultaneously)  and  the  first one to guess his/her code has won.  If
17       both players takes the same number of turns to  get  the  code  correct
18       then both has won.
19
20       For  your  help  when  guess you will for each (incorrect) answer see a
21       combination of one or more black tokens and one or more white tokens on
22       the right side of your last answer.  Each black token means that one of
23       your balls is both of the correct color and  location,  but  you  don't
24       know which one, and each white token means that one of your balls is of
25       the correct color but wrong location.
26
27       Currently each player can either be controlled by  a  human  player,  a
28       human  with  some computer assistance or by the computer.  When playing
29       in "cyborg" mode the ok button will be  slightly  shaded  whenever  the
30       currently  selected  is not consistent with previous answers.  For com‐
31       puter controlled players there exists three different  difficulty  set‐
32       tings:  "Automata",  which  is  the  simplest,  "Computer" which is the
33       default and "AI" which is the hardest.  Note that the AI  setting  uses
34       quite a lot CPU cycles and it runs very slowly with more than 8 colors.
