Master Mind Overview
Master Mind was one of those simple, clever games you'd find during the Flash era. It didn't need fancy graphics or a story. It was just a logic puzzle presented in a clean, digital format, the kind of thing you'd play in a browser window between tasks.
You control a cursor, clicking to select colored pegs from a palette and place them into a row of empty slots. Your goal is to deduce the hidden sequence of four colors that the computer has chosen. After each guess, the game provides small feedback pegs; white ones indicate a correct color in the wrong position, and black ones mean a correct color in the correct spot. You have ten attempts to solve it, which forces you to think ahead and use the clues systematically. The pacing is methodical, and the difficulty comes from the sheer number of possible combinations. It feels like a quiet, satisfying exercise in pure deduction.
