Code Breaker
==============
By Mark Mahieu
(C) Archimedes World 1992
Code Breaker is a simple but addictive logic game. The computer will
choose four pegs from the eight different coloured pegs available and
arrange them in a random order. The computer may choose two or more
pegs of the same colour. Your objective is to work out the sequence
of pegs in twelve attempts or less by picking four and placing them in
the peg holes in the current row. This is achieved by selecting one
of the pegs from the side of the board and clicking over the hole
which you want to contain that particular coloured peg. If you change
your mind about a peg, simply replace it with a different one.
When you are satisfied with your choice click on OK and the computer
will tell you how you did by placing small black and white pegs in the
holes beside your combination. A black means that one of your pegs is
the correct colour and is in the correct hole, a white means that one
of your pegs is the correct colour but in the wrong hole and an empty
hole means that one of your pegs is the wrong colour.
Clicking menu over the main game window will bring up a menu with
'Info', 'Reveal' and 'New Game' options. Choosing 'Reveal' will end
the game and reveal the correct combination. Clicking on 'New Game'
resets the board for another game. Should you for some strange reason
wish to quit Code Breaker the 'Quit' option may be found on the icon
bar menu.
