In Lab3, you will implement the game MasterMind. Your task is to crack a code which has been randomly created by the computer. To crack the code, you make guesses and the computer responds with clues.
Making Guesses
To make a guess, simply fill in a row with 4 digits between 1 - 6 separated by a space
Using the Clues
A "O" symbol means "Right value, right position." That is, one of your digits has the right value in the right position.
A "#" symbol means "Right value, wrong position." That is, one of your digits has the right value, but is in the wrong position.
If the computer responds with no pegs, that means everything is wrong.
Note: The code may have repetition.
Example output should look like this:
MasterMind
Enter four digits (1 - 6) separated by a space
-----------------------------------------------
Round 1
Enter Guess: 1 2 3 4
O #
-----------------------------------------------
Round 2
Enter Guess: 6 5 3 1
O O
------------------------------------------------
.........
.........
.........
------------------------------------------------
Round 10
Enter Guess: 6 3 3 2
O O O O
------------------------------------------------
Congratulations! You win in 10 steps!
Programming
You will need to use a random number generator to generate the computer's digits. The following program skeleton initializes the random number generator, and uses it to pick the computer's digits.
//-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#include
<iostream>
// contains cout and cin
#include
<cstdlib>
// contains the random number generator rand()
#include
<ctime>
// contains time() to seed the random number
// generator to gives a different answer each time
using namespace std;
int main(){
int c1, c2, c3,
c4;
// computer's digits
srand(time(0));
// initialize random number generator
c1 = rand()%6 +
1;
// picks random value between 1 and 6
c2 = rand()%6 +
1;
// picks random value between 1 and 6
c3 = rand()%6 +
1;
// picks random value between 1 and 6
c4 = rand()%6 +
1;
// picks random value between 1 and 6
// rest of program
return 0;
}
