Mastermind is a codebreaking game, and it’s giving main character energy. The program generates a secret sequence of colored pegs. You have a limited number of guesses to determine the correct colors and positions. After each guess, feedback is given: a black pin for each peg that’s the correct color in the correct position 💖, and a white pin for each peg that’s the correct color in the wrong position 🤍. Deduce the secret code before you run out of guesses. periodt. 🔥
