Recreating the Classic Mastermind Game in Python

A fun Python project where I built the classic Mastermind code-breaking game from scratch.

Back to Blogs

Logic games are great for exercising programming skills. Mastermind requires handling loops, conditionals, and user input validation robustly.

Game Logic

The computer generates a random 4-color code. The player guesses. The program returns feedback: 'Black' peg for correct color & place, 'White' peg for correct color but wrong place.

Implementation

I used Python's `random` module. The core difficulty was writing the algorithm to correctly calculate the white/black pegs without double-counting.
