The famous mastermind game implemented in C and ARM Assembler to understand the concept of Systems Programming.
You can build the C program, starting from the template in master-mind-terminal.c, by typing
make
and run the Master Mind program in debug mode by typing
make run
and do unit testing on the matching function
make unit
A test script is available to do unit-testing of the matching function. Run it like this from the command line
sh ./test.sh
To test whether all tests have been successful you can do
echo $?
which should print 0.
- Use the CPUlator for running the ARM Assembler code
- You can use any machine with an installation of the
gccC compiler for running the C code of the game logic - C program: master-mind-terminal.c
- ARM Assembler program: mm-matches.s
This is an example of doing unit-testing on 2 sequences (C part only; the Assembler version, running on the CPUlator, should show the numbers on the two right-most HEX-displays):
> ./cw3 -u 121 313
0 exact matches
1 approximate matches
This is an example of doing a full run of the game, using debug mode to show the secret sequence (for testing):
> ./cw3 -d
Contents of the sequence (of length 3): 2 1 1
Input seq (len 3): 1 2 3
0 2
Input seq (len 3): 3 2 1
1 1
Input seq (len 3): 2 1 1
3 0
SUCCESS after 3 iterations; secret sequence is 2 1 1
The general format for the command line is as follows (see code in master-mind-terminal.c for processing command line options):
./mmt [-v] [-d] [-s] <secret sequence> [-u] <sequence1> <sequence2>
