• NPM (Node Package Manager, included with Node.js)

Setup

To setup the game, please run the following command to install dependencies:

Configuration

The maximum number of chances a player gets to guess the code can be configured in the config.json file. If this file does not exist, it will be recreated on the next run of the game and maxGuesses will default to 10. The max number of guesses can also be specified at runtime with the --maxGuesses switch. For example:

node mastermind.js --maxGuesses 15
