I'm coding the Mastermind game. And the rules don't like any of these topics:
- Simple guessing game in c
- C number guessing game with isdigit() verification
- MasterMind game in C
- Mastermind Game Algorithm
Here are rules:
You are given a random of 4 numbers, (all numbers in range between 0 and 5);
You guess those numbers by inputting 4 numbers, separated by a space, (condition are the same with the random);
After input, you will be told how many perfect and imperfect match you've got (perfect match means player guess any of 4 which correct both in value and position, imperfect match means correct in value but not correct in position)
You have 10 chances, if you fail after 10 guess attemps, the program stop and print out the random board. Otherwise, if you guess 4 numbers correctly, the program stop and print out the number of attemps and time taken when the game run and after your guess correct.
Here is my code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <time.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <math.h>
void MastemindRandom(int random[]);
int * getGuess();
int isValidNumbers(int a, int b, int c, int d);
void run(int * count);
int main(int argc, char** argv) {
time_t begin, end;
int count;
double timeTaken;
time(&begin); //count the time when the program start
run(&count);
time(&end);
if (count != 10) { //if player wins, print out the time taken
timeTaken = difftime(end, begin);
printf("time taken: %f", timeTaken);
}
return (EXIT_SUCCESS);
}
void run(int * count) {
int random[4], *guess = malloc(4);
int imperfect, perfect, flag[4] = { 0, 0, 0, 0 };
MastemindRandom(random); //doing the random
do {
imperfect = perfect = 0;
memset(flag, 0, sizeof(int) * 4);
printf("input your guess: ");
guess = getGuess();
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
if (random[i] == guess[i]) {
perfect++; //if player guess correctly any of 4 numbers, both in position and value, increase the perfect count and set flag of that position
flag[i] = 1;
continue;
}
for (int j = 0; j < 4; j++) {
if (flag[j] == 1) //if that position has been check before
continue;
if (random[i] == guess[j]) {
imperfect++; //if the player guess correct in value but not correct in position, increase the imperfect and flag it
flag[j] = 1;
break;
}
}
}
printf("you have %d perfect match and %d imperfect match\n", perfect, imperfect);
if (perfect == 4) {
(*count)++;
break;
} else {
printf("sorry you didn't win, better luck next time\n");
(*count)++;
}
} while (*count != 10);
if (*count == 10) {
printf("sorry you don't win the game, the real numbers are: ");
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
printf("%d ", random[i]);
}
} else {
printf("congratulation, you won after %d tries \n", *count);
}
}
void MastemindRandom(int random[]) {
srand(time(NULL));
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
random[i] = rand() % +6;
printf("%d ", random[i]);
}
printf("\n");
}
int * getGuess() {
int* numbers = malloc(4);
int a, b, c, d;
do {
scanf("%d %d %d %d", &a, &b, &c, &d);
while (getchar() != '\n'){}
} while (!isValidNumbers(a, b, c, d) && printf("Input from 0 to 5 only, input again: "));
numbers[0] = a;
numbers[1] = b;
numbers[2] = c;
numbers[3] = d;
return numbers;
}
int isValidNumbers(int a, int b, int c, int d) {
if (a < 0 || b < 0 || c < 0 || d < 0 ||
a > 5 || b > 5 || c > 5 || d > 5)
return 0;
else return 1;
}
My code runs with no errors, but the calculation of the perfect and imperfect match are wrong in some conditions.
Here is the output (the first four numbers of all outputs below are the random that I print out to check):

I don't want to print out more, because basically, my logic is totally wrong. Can you guys help me out? i would be very appreciated
