# GMastermind(6)

GNUstep clone of Mastermind

## NAME

GMastermind - GNUstep clone of Mastermind

## SYNOPSIS

**GMastermind**

## DESCRIPTION

**GMastermind** is a game based upon the well-known board game 'Mastermind' (TM). Instructions on how to play are contained in the **USAGE** section.

## USAGE

When the command **GMastermind** is run, the game 'GMastermind.app' begins. The objective of the game is to guess the correct combination of colored pegs randomly selected by the program.\
 To make a guess, drag the pegs from the palette to the holes at the top of the board. Once all four of the pegs have been placed, on the menu, press "Game", and then "Commit".\
 After this, you will see a grouping of black and white dots next to your guess. Black dots indicate that one of the pegs is the correct color in the correct position. White dots indicate that one of the pegs is the correct color, but in an incorrect position.\
 You can make up to eight guesses. If you do not guess the correct combination by this stage, you lose.

## OPTIONS

**GMastermind** takes no options at the command line.\
 However, the game can be customised by using the in-game menu.\
