version 1.1
##Summary Codebreaker is a simple guessing game and can be run from a web browser. It is written in JavaScript.
##Instructions This game is based on the classic Atari 2600 game of the same title. The object of the game is for the player to guess 3 numbers between 0 and 9 in the correct order. When the player makes a guess, a flag is raised. Flags indicate one of three things:
* = a number has been matched and is not in the correct position
+ = a number has been matched and is in the correct position
_ = a number has not been matched.
The flag does not necessarily indicate the correct position on the readout. For example, given a solution of 123, the game play might look like this:
346 --> _*_
328 --> _+*
423 --> ++_
123 --> +++
The game ends when all of the numbers have been matched to their correct positions or 10 guesses have been taken.
