Hello,
I am writing code that mimics the game Mastermind. The computer randomly comes up with a code based on the "colors" RGBOY. The user has ten guesses to guess what the code is. Right now my code displays the secret code at the beginning just so I can test it out, but it will not display the secret code in the final until the end if the user has not guessed it.
The game gives feedback based on the user's guesses. For example, if the secret code is GBYO and the user enters GBOY, the feedback will be 1100. The first two colors are in the correct place and order, while the last two are the correct colors, but NOT in the correct order. I have written code that does this.
BUT for some reason, if the first code entered is not automatically the right one, the first time I loop through and encounter my displayFeedback function, it is missing a character in the feedback! But if I enter the SAME guess on the second guess, the feedback is correct!!! I am attaching an image so you can see what I mean. I am also posting my code. Does ANYONE have any idea why it would be doing this? The feedback works correctly from plays 2-10, but for some reason that first time through it does not! Any suggestions would be great.
