contest: NDS GAME - MasterMindDS By: Nikolas Lahtinen

So here's my entry. MasterMindDS.

MasterMind is an old board game in which you're supposed to figure out the color code. First guess, and then try to figure out with logic (or then just guess some more).

Buttons:
D-pad == Change slot
A     == Next color
B     == Previous color
X     == Check
Y     == Music ON/OFF
SELECT== Credits
START == Help



There's .nds, .ds.gba, Manual.txt and a picture in the .zip file.

And then to credits:

Once you understand the game, this is actually an interesting puzzle.

The interface could use a little work though.  Just little touches like, when you click on the credits or help screen to return to the game, if you click in the same place that a button is, the button registers as pressed.  So you have to click the help or cred button, then go click in the upper right corner to avoid this problem.

To solve this in code, just ensure that the player goes through an entire touch down + touch up cycle before activating a button.

Anyway, once you figure out how it works it's playable.  I'm going to try and beat it in 5 guesses now...
