Atleast make it a guessing game of 0-10 or something . Not 0001-9999
Then reduce changes to liek 5 attempts or something

You must currently use a multitool on it to check how well your latest guess did.
It might be a good idea to change it to directly give the feedback to the player after each guess yeah...

Where the hell do they even spawn? I haven't managed to find a single one.

One spawns in the Mining Output maintenance room by default as well.
I suck at Mastermind, so I took the liberty of making
a little helper program for it. Solution guaranteed within 7 tries!

Doesn't help that it's bugged atm.
Got one in like 16 tries when admins sent one to bridge when I was captain and I had no clue what I was doing. Usually gives you 10 tries.
Turns out if you have the right number in the right slot, the same number will appear as "correct" in other slots too, sometimes, I guess.
3808 was giving me 4 correct digits in 4 correct slots when the solution was 3708.

That's because the codes never have duplicate digits, but the interface still allows you to enter them.
And since the match-counter can't handle double digits, it mucks up.

You're welcome!
Unlike Telescience, though, Mastermind is perfectly doable without this sort of stuff. I just suck at it.

Wow people solved an old hat board game puzzle and it was so old the optimal method was easy as hell to find. Better punish our players for not being stupid.

Good thing we've got people like you around to make sure even the most savage retards can play the game on even footing.
Lord knows we've attracted plenty of them over the last few years.
