BIG BAD WOLF:
I spent a lot of time analysing Mastermind and if you think of proper way of assessing someone's skills the best way to assign points for wins is like follow. I call it League Scoring:
First Move guessed correctly - 6 points
Sec MOve guessed correctly 7 points
third - 8 points
fourth - 9 points
fith - 10 points
sixth - 5 points
seventh - 4 points
eight - 3 points
ninth - 2 points
tenth - 1 point
***
This scoring system takes into account difficulty in guessing correctly and eliminates
easy wins in first guess still awarding for it more points than for sith guess which is pass what computer can do for any code. 4.5 moves is
the score computer gets for any code.
First 5 guesses are awarded heavily and than there is steadily decline in points.
What do you think about it ?
