Absolute Mastermind Manual

Requirements:
The game works on almost any computer that runs Win95/98/ME/2K/XP with DirectX 8 or later installed. If you want sound then you must have a DirectX compatible sound card.

Installation:
To install the game just double-click on setup.exe.

Trouble with the correction system?
If you can't figure out how the correction system works or if you think it's doing it all wrong then click on this link. Show me how it works

Game Concept:
Is to figure out the hidden color combination.

How To Play:
Click on the start button to start a normal mastermind game, then choose colors in the color selector and put them on the first row. When you have filled all available slots then press the check button to make your guess, you will now hopefully get some black/white markers to the right of your color combination. A black marker means that you have the correct color in the correct slot, and a white marker that you have the correct color in the wrong slot. Left-click on the row will put the chosen color at the selected slot, right-click will remove the color from the selected slot and double clicking will clear the entire row. If you want to exclude colors from the color selector then right-click the color.

Difficulty Levels:
Can be found at the top right corner. If you never have played a mastermind game before then I recommend the 'Easy' level (6 colors, 4 columns, 10 rows). For the more experienced player there are the Medium level (8 colors, 5 columns, 12 rows). And for the real Mastermind pro try this one...Hard level (10 colors, 6 columns, 14 rows).

Mind Duel:
When this option is marked in the configuration window then the next time you press the start button you will be in the 2 player mode. You take turns to play and the player that first reaches the limit looses (the fewer guesses the better). If you don't have time to finish the duel right away don't worry...it's saved and can be resumed at a later time. To reset mind duel click the 'Mind Duel' text in the display.

Boss Button:
If you for some reason are playing this game at work instead of working then you might find this button handy. It's located at the top of the window and it says 'Fun Factory'. When pressed the game will disappear from view and the music will stop. To resume game double click the tray icon.

Highscores:
To be able to get a highscore the 'Timer' option in the configuration window must be activated.

Instant Help:
To get instant help on the spot activate the 'Tool Tips' function in configuration, then just point on the object you want to know more about. When activated it works everywhere in the game
