+MasterMind 1.1b
+
+
+HISTORY
+-------
+
+version 1.0 was first done at my school days at ESCOM (Escuela Superior de
+Computo, from the IPN - Instituto Politecnico Nacional at Mexico city) in
+1998, as my first school project in C for the first semester of Programming
+Languages in that school. It is perhaps the first game I've ever wrote (note,
+though, that it is not my first program, I've been programming in C since my
+nbachelor days, sometime around 1996, and have done primitive programming in
+prehistoric languages like BASIC some years before too). Why I chose Master
+Mind as my first programming project in C has its history too: when I was an
+almost 12 years old kid, I've got operated from my appendix, and someone
+(can't remember who, perhaps some aunt), gave me as a gift a version of that
+fine mental board game. Since then it's been one of my favorites (despite the
+fact that I play it seldom, just as seldom as I used to maintain this program
+unitl now :-P)
+
+version 1.0.1 improved the help and about online sections
+
+version 1.0.2 came from my efforts in 2006 to upgrade the program so the Three
+Wise Men (the 'Tres Reyes Magos', a mexican tradition (and surely from some
+other places with hispanic/catholic traditions) for kids celebrated every 6th
+january) could give my then girlfriend (and now wife) a nice gift ;-) Since
+she is a psychologist, she had told me about an evaluation scale for the
+Master Mind game, which I included in this version
+
+version 1.1, the current version, is the port to GNU/Linux of MasterMind
+
+version 1.1b came from a patch by Felix Herrmann so that colorblind people can
+play the game by showing the number of the inputs, besides of the color

+COMPILING
+---------
+
+MasterMind just needs the Curses library, so doing a
+
+   cc masterm.c -lncurses -o masterm
+
+might be just enough.
+
+There is a makefile included, so running
+
+   make
+
+is the easiest way. Please mind that the makefile supposes you have GCC
+installed on your system
+
+There is a colorblind target, to compile masterm for colorblind support:
+
+   make colorblind
+
+
+RUNNING
+-------
+
+Once compiled, a file named masterm should be generated. Just run that and
+ENJOY!

+MasterMind 1.1b
+
+
+TODO
+----
+
+1) I wish to separate CLEANLY the engine of the game from the interface.
+
+Efforts to bring version 1.1 have made an almost complete restructuration of
+the code, by adding .h files (originally everything was in a single .c file!),
+each one of them tries to execute specialized tasks: masterm.c and masterm.h
+try to be the engine, cursors.h and curstextlib.h try to be the cursors
+interface (therefore bringing up the possibility to have another interface
+too).
+
+Maybe a good solution would be to have the engine as a separate process
+expecting commands via a socket (or some other kind of IPC), and emitting
+results in the same way. That way, the interface could be the program the user
+calls, with any interface you choose (cursors, text mode, etc.), and this
+interface program then exec()s the engine and communicates with it via the
+commands & through the socket. I don't know, have to think about it a little
+more for a while...
+
+
+2) I haven't tested 1.1 for MS-DOS compatibility, and perhaps I won't, but if
+there's someone willing to do that, and help me fix any problems, I will be
+glad to receive the extra help. Since 1.1, I tried to abstract the behaviour
+of the interface from the engine, so I changed the conio routines embedded in
+the code to more general calls, in the effort to make curses the default
+cursors library, so the changes might have broken something about the conio
+library...
+
+
+3) I surely have to translate Master Mind's interface to English. A good
+localization to support multiple languages might be the best solution.
