Portable MasterMind changelog

Kennethdm s has released version 1.1 of his homebrew game for the PSP, Portable Mastermind. This game is pretty much a clone of what you see on the TV show, Mastermind. Here's what Kennethdm said:

"This is my first homebrew attempt, it's a simple-concept, but not so easy to win. The goal is simple: you have to find out what the secret code is. At the main menu, you can choose if you want to play vs the computer or vs another player. If you choose 2 player mode, one player has to enter the code, confirm with X, and then hand over the psp to the other player, who has to guess the code."

This game is limited to 6 attempts, it is based on mini mastermind which is a mini version of the original mastermind. For full instructions on how to play the game, please check the enclosed Readme.

Here's the changelog for v1.1:

• Has Improved GUI
• Now skinnable
• 2 player mode available
• Battery display
• Time display
• Major code cleanup

This has not been tested on 2.0+ PSPs, so it may not work with Fanjita's eLoader, although both 1.0 and 1.5 binaries are included in the download. Enjoy!

Kennethdm has just released an update to his hombrew game, Portable Mastermind v1.01. If you're not familiar with MasterMind, the goal is to guess what color circles solve the puzzle in a certain order. But you only get a few chances to get it right, so there's plenty of frustration when you were just zeroing in on the right placement. This update addresses a couple of bugs in the last release:

double message (you win/you lose) when your last guess is correct (solved)
"game can't start" problem in psp OS should be fixed (not tested)

KennethDM has created MasterMind for the PSP!

This is my first homebrew attempt, it's a simple game, but not so easy to win.
The goal is simple, you have to find out what the secret code is.

Using left and right on your analog pad, you select the circle.
Using up and down you change the cirle's color.
If you are satisfied with the colors of the row, press cross,
now the little circles will show how good your guess was:

-the number of green circles is the number of correct colors at the correct place
-the number of blue circles is the number of correct colors at the incorrect place

This game is limited to 6 attempts, it is based on mini mastermind which is a mini version of the original mastermind.

If feedback is positive, I plan on expanding the game with the following:
-more (and harder) game modes
-high score list
-two player mode (one player inputs the code, the other one has to crack it)
