About Code Breaker
Code Breaker is the classic color-code deduction game. Guess the hidden sequence of colored beads; after each guess, black pegs count beads with the right color in the right place and white pegs count right colors in the wrong place.

How to play
- Guess a hidden code of colored beads (Medium: 4 beads, 6 colors, repeats allowed).
- After each guess: a black peg for each bead with the right color in the right place, a white peg for each right color in the wrong place — but not which ones.
- Easy: no repeats, 10 tries. Medium: repeats, 8 tries. Hard: 5 beads, 8 colors, 10 tries.
Reset clears the current row; a hint fills in the next correct color.
