Code Maker

Program makes a secret code and user tries to guess.

The documented results are produced from revision 55a4fe. In these test cases, the computer generates a random code and provides correct feedback to the user in the form of white and black key pegs.

Random Code Maker

The computer will generate a completely random code of length 4 based on the 6 possible colors.

Test Case 1

Secret Code: Red Yellow Blue Red

Number of Attempts	Attempt	Hints
1	Green Red Green Red	Black: 1, White: 1
2	Green Blue Orange Yellow	Black: 0, White: 2
3	Green Blue Red Yellow	Black: 0, White: 3
4	Green Purple Red Yellow	Black: 0, White: 2
5	Green Blue Red Green	Black: 0, White: 2
6	Green Purple Red Yellow	Black: 0, White: 2
7	Yellow Green Yellow Red	Black: 1, White: 1
8	Yellow Red Orange Green	Black: 0, White: 2
9	Yellow Yellow Yellow Red	Black: 2, White: 0
10	Purple Yellow Purple Red	Black: 2, White: 0

Result: The computer generated a random code and the user was unable to guess it. After manually comparing, the computer provided correct feedback to the guesses.

Test Case 2

Secret Code: Green Orange Green Red

Number of Attempts	Attempt	Hints
1	Purple Purple Green Red	Black: 2, White: 0
2	Blue Orange Green Red	Black: 3, White: 0
3	Blue Blue Green Red	Black: 2, White: 0
4	Green Orange Green Red	Black: 4, White: 0

Result: The computer generated a random code and the user was able to guess it within 4 tries. The computer provided correct feedback to the guesses.

Test Case 3

Secret Code: Purple Yellow Yellow Yellow

Number of Attempts	Attempt	Hints
1	Green Green Red Orange	Black: 0, White: 0
2	Purple Purple Purple Purple	Black: 1, White: 0
3	Yellow Purple Blue Blue	Black: 0, White: 2
4	Purple Yellow Yellow Yellow	Black: 4, White: 0

Result: The computer generated a random code and the user was able to guess it within 4 tries. The computer provided correct feedback to the guesses.

Pre-Programmed Code Maker

The computer will select a code from a list of pre-programmed codes. The list of pre-programmed codes contains a list of all the codes that only have one color.

Test Case 1

Secret Code: Purple Purple Purple Purple

Number of Attempts	Attempt	Hints
1	Green Red Blue Yellow	Black: 0, White: 0
2	Orange Orange Orange Purple	Black: 1, White: 0
3	Purple Purple Purple Purple	Black: 4, White: 0

Result: The computer selected a pre-programmed code and the user was able to guess it within 3 tries. The computer provided correct feedback to the guesses.

Test Case 2

Secret Code: Red Red Red Red

Number of Attempts	Attempt	Hints
1	Green Red Green Red	Black: 2, White: 0
2	Green Blue Orange Yellow	Black: 0, White: 0
3	Purple Purple Green Green	Black: 0, White: 0
4	Green Purple Red Yellow	Black: 1, White: 0
5	Purple Purple Yellow Red	Black: 1, White: 0
6	Red Green Orange Orange	Black: 1, White: 0
7	Orange Purple Purple Purple	Black: 0, White: 0
8	Red Red Purple Purple	Black: 2, White: 0
9	Purple Purple Red Red	Black: 2, White: 0
10	Red Red Red Orange	Black: 3, White: 0

Result: The computer selected a pre-programmed code and the user was not able to guess it within 10 tries. The computer provided correct feedback to the guesses.
