What is "mastermind"?
Mastermind is a two-player code-breaking game where one player creates a hidden code, and the other tries to guess it. The code is made using a row of colored pegs, and the guessing player has a limited number of turns to figure it out. After each guess, the code-maker provides feedback using smaller pegs: one color indicates correct colors in the correct positions, and another shows correct colors in the wrong positions. The guessing player uses this feedback to refine their guesses. The game ends when the code is cracked or the guesses run out.
