numeric-mastermind-solver-js

A better implementation for a step-by-step numeric mastermind solver than what I've found around

Features

• Works in node.js and in the browser.
• Included test suite and benchmark.
• Takes places and numbers as options
• Small: <1 KB minified and gzipped

Installation

node.js

Install using npm:

$ npm install numeric-mastermind-solver-js

Browser

Using bower:

$ bower install numeric-mastermind-solver-js

If you are not using any module loader system then the API will then be accessible via the window.Mastermind object.

Examples

Node.JS

var Mastermind = require('numeric-mastermind-solver-js');

var mm = new Mastermind();
var solution = 1234;

// This is an automated example - you would typically try the guesses and feed the result pins
for (x = 0; x < 10; x++) {
  var guess = mm.getGuess();
  var res = Mastermind.matchPins(solution, guess);
  mm.feedPins(res.green, res.blue);
  status = mm.status();
  if (status.state === 'solved') {
    // solved state
    break;
  }
}

Browser
