COLORCODE(6)

💖 COLORCODE — the manual page, but make it a group chat 💖

okay bestie, gather round, because we're talking about colorcode from the Games Manual, section 6. yes, section 6. that's the games section, we love her. 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

colorcode — an advanced clone of the MasterMind code-breaking game. she's giving legacy, she's giving brain teaser, she's giving iconic. 💅

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

colorcode

that's it. that's the whole vibe. no flags, no args, just launch her. 👑

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so listen, colorcode is an advanced and highly configurable MasterMind code-breaking game clone. not me being obsessed with a code-breaking game but here we are. 😭

the program lets you set:

• the number of slots — from 2 to 5
• the number of colors — from 2 to 10
• and whether colors might be repeated in the secret code — that is, whether doubles are allowed or not

and because she's generous, the game ships with 5 built-in levels, lowkey ranging from adorable to unhinged:

1. level 1 (beginner: 2 slots and 2 colors with doubles allowed) — baby's first code, we love her 🍓
2. ...all the way up to...
3. level 5 (hard: 5 slots and 10 colors with doubles allowed) — main character energy, but make it suffering 💀

and the wildest part? ColorCode can make guesses in place of the user. yes. she'll play for you. she's not just a game, she's your bestie holding your hand through it. 🫶
