Mastermind

A terminal Mastermind game with 4 modes and a built-in magic solver. Install with pip and play in seconds — no configuration needed.

What is Mastermind?

Mastermind is a classic code-breaking game: one player hides a secret code, the other tries to crack it. After each guess, you get feedback on how close you are — and you have to use that to narrow it down before you run out of attempts. Simple to learn, surprisingly deep to master.

Features

• Play — Guess the secret code yourself
• Watch — Let the AI solve it optimally
• Assist — Get AI suggestions while playing a real game
• Rules — Learn how to play

Getting Started

Prerequisites

Just install Python 3.12+ and pip — the Java runtime is bundled for Linux, Windows, and macOS.

For Android, install Termux and run pkg install openjdk-21 first.

Technical Details for Developers

• JPype: bridges Python and Java at runtime, allowing the Python UI to call into the high-performance Java solver directly without a subprocess.

Installation

1. Install Python 3.12+ if you haven't already.

2. Install the latest release:

   pip install mastermind-ai
   

3. Run the program:

   mastermind
