Mastermind

This project aims to replicate the classic board game Mastermind Sample code provided in Java language.

You are the player.

How to use

• Prerequisite: Java 21 (or else use old version 1.0)
• mvn package && java --enable-preview -jar target/mastermind-1.1-SNAPSHOT.jar
• give answers through STDIN + ENTER key to validate. Use Red J=Yellow, Blue, Orange, V=Green, N=Black.
• win 😎 !

Bonus: Running & Debugging on VSCode

I used this project as a Test Drive for Java support on Visual Studo Code.

I used these extensions:

• Language Support for Java by RedHat,
• Debugger for Java,
• Java Test Runner,

For Lombok support, I had to tweak my config:

  "java.jdt.ls.vmargs":
    "-javaagent:/path/to/.m2/repository/org/projectlombok/lombok/1.16.18/lombok-1.16.18.jar -Xbootclasspath/a:/path/to/.m2/repository/org/projectlombok/lombok/1.16.18/lombok-1.16.18.jar",

After that VSCode was able to correctly pick up @Getter, @Setter, etc.

Then, to debug:

• mvn -Dmaven.surefire.debug test
• Then use the Debug (Attach) launch configuration in Visual Studio Code to debug step by step.

Or use the integrated terminal window and run maven commands.

Future

In the future I will add auto-play to try the Five-guess algorithm and the Genetic Algorithm
