Yes Master

Goal

Yesmaster is a terminal mastermind game. It's possible to play normally or let's play the computer with algorithm :

• random_idiot : totally random and idiot
• random_no_repeat : random but never the same code twice
• compatible : play random but take in consideration the verification and play only code compatible with it
• compatible_8in2 : play the two first code with 8 colors and after that play compatible
• compatible_4in1 : play like compatible but the first must be 4 differents colors
• one_step_ahead : play the move that has the highest expected elimination

Installation

The program is available on Pypi. You need at least python 3.6 and you can use pipx to install it.

Usage

usage: yesmaster.py [-h] [--algo ALGO] [--loop LOOP] {play,auto}

positional arguments:{play,auto}  play yourself or let's computer playing

optional arguments:
  -h, --help   show this help message and exit
  --algo ALGO  Choose an algo present in the algo folder
  --loop LOOP  Number of games

Test your algorithm

You can add your personnal algorithm with a python file in the algo directory (the name of the python file will be the name of the algo to call in the command line). A template file shows you how your algo must be organized. Two functions are mandatory in a class name Algo :

• get(self) : executed for choosing the code. Must return a 4 letters string with letters among ROGBYAPW
• report(self, test, good, bad) : executed with 3 arguments (test : the code that you pushed with get, good : the number of goods colors at good place, bad : the number of goods colors at wrong place). Return nothing.
