                                   MM
                                  ----

Rules:
------

MM is a implementation of the game Mastermind. In this game you must try to
guess a color combination which the amiga sets per random generator. There
are 6 colors which can set in any number. The player must guess the
combination by setting an own combination, which the amiga will rate by
following scheme.
Setting a black pin, if the position and the color is right. But note, that
the position of the black pin must not be the position of your right field.
Setting the white pin, if only the color of a field is right.

Example:
--------

Your amiga sets the combination blue-red-red-yellow and you sets the colors
red-red-green-green. After clicking on RETURN the amiga sets one black and
one white pin, because you have guessed the both red fields of which one has
the right position.


Playing the Game:
-----------------

After loading from CLI or from workbench the playing field appears.
At the left side you find 10 rows, where you can guess the combination by
setting your colors. At the right side you find the gadgets to control the
game.

* Color-Gadgets: By clicking on one of the 6 gadgets you can select the color
                 you want to set. You can recognize the actual color by the
                 color of the mouse pointer.

                    color.

                actual color.

                   if you want to change only one color for example.
                   You can use this function from the second row on.

                   change these colors by clicking on this gadget.

                 The same you have to do, if you have guessed the
                 combination.
* (Q)uit-Gadget: With this gadget you can leave the game.
* RETURN-Gadget: By clicking on this gadget your amiga will rate your setted
                 row. You can use this function only, if you have set all 4
