mastermind.c

Original author: Neil Ranada

This is a command line game where you have to guess a four digit secret code using non-repeating numbers between 0 and 7 (Example: 0357).

You can play by yourself against a random auto-magically generated secret code.

Or, set a custom four digit code using non-repeating numbers between 0 and 7 and set the number of attempts available to a player (default is 10 attempts).

• Compile automatically using the makefile using make or manually gcc -Wall -Wextra -Werror *.c -o play_mastermind

• In the command line type ./play_mastermind
• Enter your four digit guess (using numbers between 0 and 7) in the command line until you run out of attempts

• To set only the custom four digit code, add a "-c" flag add a four digit number (using non-repeatind numbers between 0 and 7): ./play_mastermind -c 1234
• To set only the number of attempts add a "-t" flag and add the desired number of attempts: ./my_mastermind -t 20
• To set both the secret code and number of attempts a "-c" and "-t" flag and update the numbers in the example: ./play_mastermind -c 1234 -t 10
• The player enters a four digit guess (using numbers between 0 and 7) in the command line until they run out of attempts
