Mastermind 3DS
​

A version of mastermind for 3DS. IMO it has nice graphics, in a modern style (ios 7/lollipop). Fully functional, the computer generates a random code and you get 7 attempts to crack it. Black pins mean a correct color and correct place, white pins mean correct color but not correct the correct place.

Works with any version of ninjhax, and should work with ironhax when released.

Update (8/11/2015):
Local multiplayer (on same 3DS) player 1 creates code, player 2 tries to crack the code
Added color option (6,7 or 8 colors)
If you do not guess the code correctly it will now display the correct code on screen.

Controls:
Touch: use on-screen buttons
up/down: change selected color on bottom screen
right/left: change selected circle
a: input attempt

There is also a fun little secret way to cheat

 

This is nicest looking homebrew on the 3DS I'm going to give it at try.

 

Played my first game, solved it on 6th attempt, *wipes brow*
The bomb is defused

 

Great app, downloaded!

 

yeah the homebrew scene becomes more handsome :3
Good work!

 

Nice little game for 3DS, some thoughts for a more realistic MasterMind:

- Can the solution be shown when you don't get it in all given turns?
- Turns could be set on start, 12, 10, 8 or 6 turns would be awesome (like original Mastermind)
- Difficult setting:
* Easy: 4 rows with 6 colors, each row has a different color (Like original MasterMind)
* Normal: 4 rows with 6 colors and 2,3 or 4 rows can have the same color (Like original MasterMind)
* Difficult: 5 rows with 8 colors, each row has a different color
* Very difficult: 5 rows with 8 colors and 2,3,4 or 5 rows can have the same color
* Hard: 6 rows with 8 colors, each row has a different color
* Extreme: 6 rows with 8 colors and 2, 3,4,5 or 6 rows can have the same color
(you can also just say Level 1, to Level 6 instead of easy etc...)

Optional:
- 2 player mode (someone sets the color, press hide and give the 3ds to second player)
- The solution only gets shown if the second player can't figure the code

I know i can't program :/ , so i just ask!
I love mastermind and it's great to have it on 3DS as homebrew
Thank you!

Thanks!

 

Woah, good job. This is certainly one of the most pleasing to look at homebrew applications for the 3DS. Thanks a lot for this!

 

haha, yeah i know.

It's just, i like to play it as authentic as possible
easy, normal and hard would be cool even in a future update and not the next
The best update next, would be showing the solution if you don't find it yourself.

Thanks for your work

Minor graphical tweaks to make it look better
