Mastermind V2 (1 Viewer)

Hi

This is a beta of version 2 of Mastermind.
I publish this to get some feedback before i move on with the AI.
New in this version will be that you will be able to compete against the computer.
NOTE: This betaversion doesnt contain any AI for the computer the computer just randomly pick 4 colors.


There are 4 gametypes available.

Standard:
This is the old Mastermind were you try to find a hidden code that the computer has generated.

Same:
In this mode you and the computer are looking for the same code. The one who findes the code first win.

Different:
In this mode you try to find a hidden code that the computer has generated and the computer tries to find a code that you are thinking of. The one who findes the code first win.

Computer:
In this mode the computer tries to find a code that you are thinking of.


I will probably not write the AI until after the summer. I have written it before but in another language, Amigabasic if someone remember that, but just for level amateur.

If you are running the latest stable version of MP autosave wount work. If running one of the latest SVN releases it should work.

Becourse of a bug in SelectButton the arrows may be missplaced. If running a SVN release i have made a quickfix for this.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT A BUGFIX JUST A QUICKFIX.
The code is borrowed from another part of SelectButtoncode.

Add the code below last in the function SetPosition and rebuild:
// Position right arrow
int x1 = 8;
int x2 = 16;
GUIGraphicsContext.ScaleHorizontal(ref x1);
GUIGraphicsContext.ScaleHorizontal(ref x2);
int dwX = (dwPosX + _width - x1) - x2;

int y1 = 16;
GUIGraphicsContext.ScaleVertical(ref y1);
int dwY = dwPosY + (_height - y1) / 2;
_imageRight.SetPosition(dwX, dwY);
_imageRightFocus.SetPosition(dwX, dwY);

// Position left arrow
dwX = dwPosX + x1;
_imageLeft.SetPosition(dwX, dwY);
_imageLeftFocus.SetPosition(dwX, dwY);

Hi GannTrader, would it be possible for you to make the board/s user positionable using skin files? Oh, and could you recompile the plugin with the fix you mentioned?
Thanks...

Hi

How to make users position the boards using skinfiles i dont know.
I do now how to change the position dynamicly, using a button for positioning.
It depends how many here who want that.

The fix is not part of the plugincode. It part of the hole MPcode so i cant do that.
If you want to use the fix you will have to compile MP yourself using the latest SVN release.

Hi GannTrader,

look into my source from hexxagon. I used a invisible image in the skin. From there I draw my field dynamic. So somebody can change the x and y (startpoint)

This is very easy and should be OK for most users.

OnPageLoad()
..

// get position from the start button
int StartX = GetControl(198).XPosition;
int StartY = GetControl(198).YPosition;
// Disable level control
GUIControl.HideControl(GetID, 198);

...

and in the skin

- <control>
<description>hidden hex</description>
<type>image</type>
<id>198</id>
<posX>270</posX>
<posY>220</posY>
<width>40</width>
<height>60</height>
<texture>\Hexxagon\MyHexx01.png</texture>
</control>

by the way for your nice game and many ideas...

Hi Kroko

I have maybe misunderstod this.
I thought that Psycho Reptile wanted to move the boards during a game, at runtime.
I now suppose that all he wants is to be able to change the x and y position for the boards in the XML-file, skinfile.
This is possible to do yes.

Hi GannTrader, that's exactly what i mean't .

Hi

Heres v2.10 of mastermind.

In this version the computerguesses are a bit smarter than before
You can also set the position of the boards by changing in the xml-file.
If any x- or y-position for the bords are changed from 0 then those positions are used.

I can't get to this file and would like to d/l it. Is this version the one I should use? Or should I grab the earlier one?

Thanks.
