develop debugging skills playing Mastermind
This was one of the really cool tips from Steven’s presentation. I used to play this game in my childhood when my cousin sister had gifted us this from the US. Now I am sometimes apalled when I see developer’s struggling to find simple problems in any code, and was wondering how I could help them improve this skill.
As Steven (SQL training program) highlighted, this game really develops one’s debugging skills, and he strongly advocated this for every developer to play even at company time 😉
You can give it a try – it’s simple, and I could find a nice one online.
Below are the rules from google…
—–
Object of the Game
The computer picks a sequence of 4 pegs, each one being one of any of six colors.
The object of the game is to guess the exact positions of the colors in the computer’s sequence in as few guesses as possible. After each guess, the computer gives you a score of exact and partial matches.
Rules
1. The sequence can contain pegs of colors: red, yellow, green, blue, white, black
2. A color can be used any number of times in the sequence.
3. All four pegs of the secret sequence will contain a color – no blanks/empties are allowed.
4. Each guess must consist of 4 peg colors – no blanks.
5. You have 8 guesses to find the secret sequence.
Scoring
For each of the pegs in your guess that is the correct color and in the correct position, the computer will give you one small black peg to the right of that move. If you score 4 small black pegs on a guess, you have guessed the secret sequence.
For each of the pegs in your guess that is a correct color in an incorrect position, the computer will give you one small white peg to the right of that move. Together, there will be no more than four small black and white pegs for each move.
If none of the pegs in your guess is of a correct color, you will see no small pegs to the right of that move.
Sample scoring:
| If the secret sequence is… |
And your guess is… |
Your score would be… |
