Mastermind

Mastermind is a fun game that involves trying to break a random code of five numbers (1-9) in fifteen guesses or less. To help assist you with the code-breaking, a clue is displayed below each number. If the number is correct and in the right position, a star (*) will be displayed. If the number is correct but in the wrong position, a plus (+) will be displayed. And if the number is simply wrong, a minus (-) will be displayed. Try out the game and try to understand and think through the code.
