Code Breaker

Code Breaker is the second minigame we’re building. It plays similar to the board game “Mastermind” but with a lot more complexity. There is a hidden code of 4 - 10 symbols on the screen. You have a set of 20+ different symbols to choose from to guess what this code is. Each time you make a guess you are given a series of lights showing you how close each of your symbols was to the correct ones. It’s a race against time as you only have 15 minutes to crack the code. You can have as many attempts as you like but once time runs out the door is locked forever.

There are 108 possible Symbols (Maybe even more by the time this is finished) which consist of each of the following combined:

  • 6 different colors
  • 6 different shapes
  • 3 different sizes

There a 4 different lights given for feedback:

  • Green lights for one of the symbols is correct and in the correct spot.
  • Yellow light for one of the symbols is correct but in the wrong spot.
  • Orange light for one of the symbols is 2/3 the correct color, shape or size.
  • Red light for one of the symbols is one of the correct color, shape or size.

This game will be ready for playtesting this weekend. You can sign up to playtest here
