Overview
This example VI demonstrates the use of Event Structure to duplicate the mastermind code-breaking game.

Description

The Mastermind code-breaking game was invented in 1970 by Mordecai Meirowitz, an Israeli postmaster and telecommunications expert. It is a challenging game that has always been popular with Engineers and Scientists, due to its reliance on logical thinking. I have replicated the game in LabVIEW (something, fittingly, that is also popular with Engineers and Scientists)

 

Requirements

  • LabVIEW 2012 (or compatible)
  • Report Generation Toolkit

 

Steps to Implement or Execute Code

  1. Open the project “MastermindProject.lvproj”
  2. Open the VI " Mastermind 2012 NIVerified.vi"
  3. Run the VI.
  4. Click 'Play' button and enjoy the game.
