BlindMaster


A multiplatform, multi-lingual logic game that is controlled by keyboard and
communicates with the player through audio messages. No graphic output.

The computer chooses a secret code of 4 digits. The player has to guess this
secret code by typing in propositions. After each proposition is submitted,
the computer tells how many digits were guessed correctly at their proper
position within the code sequence, and how many digits were guessed correctly
but at a wrong position. Relying on these hints, the player must deduce the
secret code sequence within a maximum of 8 attempts. The code is built of up
to 6 different digits ranging from 1 to 6. The same digit may be repeated
several times in the code.


CONTROLS

The game is operated through the keyboard:

1-6         writes the code proposition
BACKSPACE   remove the last digit of current code proposition
ENTER       submits the current code proposition
LEFT/RIGHT  reviews past propositions
-/+         same as LEFT/RIGHT
SPACE       in-game help
ESCAPE      quit the game
