Base project for a coding kata - for the use in a coding dojo.
It's a medium complex kata, where you have to implement several classes.

• Write test with JUnit Jupiter + (optional) Hamcrest matchers
• Respect the Test Driven Development (TDD)
• Feel free to start from scratch
• Java JDK > 14 is needed

💿 Tools

To sync the dev state during the mob programming dojo:

👉 install mob.

Basic Commands

• start Start mob session from base branch in wip branch
• next Handover changes in wip branch to next person

📑 Task

Write a console application for the Master Mind game. This game where one player, a codemaker, has to choose a secret combination of colored pegs and then make it guess to someone else, a codebreaker. The codemaker is answering to each guess attempt of the codebreaker by indicating only the number of well placed colors and the number of correct but misplaced colors.

👉 Coding Dojo Kata - Mastermind

📖 Problem Description

The idea of this Kata is to code an algorithm capable of playing this boring role: answering the number of well placed and misplaced colors.

Therefore, your function should return, for a secret and a guessing combination:

• The number of well placed colors
• The number of correct but misplaced colors

A combination can contain any number of pegs but you’d better give the same number for the secret and the guessing. You can use any number of colors.

🚀 Run

The game is a console application. Anyway, for this kata you don't need to run it by hand. Just run and test your game with Unit tests.

Just for fun, there is also a main function to run the game. You can ignore it for during the dojo.
