Whenever a new game is started, the computer generates a random symbol code. Multiple use of the same symbol is allowed.
The player attemptsto crack this code in 10 guesses or less.
Start by clicking on "Start Game" - the timer will begin.
Symbols are selected by clicking on one of the buttons in the lower left corner.
After selecting a symbol, click on a button in the lowest unused row of buttons above the "Guess" button set it to the symbol you selected.
You can keep the current symbol or select new one from the symbol buttons. Repeat this process until all the buttons in the current row have a symbol assigned to them. You can also change the symbol of any button before you finalize your guess by clicking the "Guess" button.
Once you click the "Guess" button, your guess is compared secret code, and two numbers will appear to the right of of the current row.
The number in the left column indicates how many of the symbols in your guess are the correct symbol and in the correct position.
The number in the right column indicates how many of the symbols in your guess are the correct symbol but in the wrong position.
Example
The secret code is:
@ # $ %
Your guess is:
@ $ & #
The result would be a 1 in the left column for the "@" symbol that is the correct symbol and position, and a 2 in the right column for the "$" and "#" which are correct symbols but are in the wrong positions.
The game continues until you either correctly guess the code or you have used all ten guesses without cracking the code.
