Mastermind is perhaps one of the all-time favourites among home computer programmers. Usually the program is extremely basic and to win the hidden colours have to be found in about seven or eight attempts. This version for the Amstrad CPC range has all those features but also incorporates the same scoring system as the board game - a white peg to indicate the correct colour in the correct place and a black peg to indicate the correct colour in the wrong place. While this game is not on a par with many of the arcade-type games we publish, it is very well-written and is a good example of successful home programming. Your Computer |
