## What is Break the Code!?

Code Breaker! is a classic mind game: a secret code is given, and you must figure it out using guesses and the hints provided on the puzzle.


*** HOW TO PLAY ***
The goal is to guess your opponent's code in the fewest tries possible. There are 6-8 colors to choose from. 
Your objective is to logically guess the combination of color in the correct sequence.
You have 8 chances to guess it correct
Tap the colored peg you want to place into the board
Tap on the chosen peg on the board if you want to replace it with another peg
If you are satisfied with the combination you have made, press the "OK" button on the right
When you finished you combination, check the small pegs on the board's right side.
* Black - right color, right space
* White - right color, wrong space
* Empty - wrong color, wrong space
If you fail to guess the code in 8 tries, you lose and the correct pegs are revealed at the top of the game board.

The order of the result pegs has no correlation with the order of the guess pegs. The result pegs tell you how many guess pegs are correct, but not which ones.

SCORING:
You get more points for less guesses, more balls, and more pegs. You get less points for using a hint.

### 5/5 — Awesome brain game

*2020-12-08*

Classic mind game still enjoyable after over thirty years

### 1/5 — Crashes

*2020-08-06*

One of the worst apps I ever downloaded.  Can’t even get app to open to play it.  Put it in the trash can.

### 2/5 — Nice User Interface

*2020-02-06*

Nice UI, however the programming is incorrect.  I have witnessed times were I have the right color but in the wrong place and I don’t get a white peg for it.  This usually happens when the color is present in another location as well.

**Developer response:** Hi Manikese! If you have a screenshot of this, please send it to dailycodechallenge@gmail.com. Thousands of games have been played and I have yet to see this. I would be very interested to see this bug. Thanks for complement on the UI 😁

I played several different mastermind apps, and this one is by far my favorite. I love how you can customize your experience (once you earn enough rewards), and it was more visually appealing as well. Definitely would recommend!
