Lately, I’ve been working on making the classic game Mastermind on Scratch. It has been going well and it has been a learning experience being new to Scratch. One of the first challenges I faced when making the game was how to display the guesses the user made each time and how to give hints on the guesses they have made. I have also had to change the layout of the game at least twice to make it easier for the sprites to move and look at least semi-organized. The game is almost completely functional with one exception as the game does not process duplicate numbers well. It’s a minor bug which is probably due to some math inconsistencies that I am fixing. I have also been meaning to simply make it look better simply for the sake of vanity. I’m hoping to improve it possibly making it more user friendly but with some harder levels in order to make it more challenging.
I have also been looking into game theory to make it a part of my other project for the summer. Since the beginning of my light-research on the subject I have found it to be more interesting then I previously thought. Also, it has shed some light on certain aspects of economics that I had previously not understood. Most of my research has been through videos on game theory. I have not found any books that are easier to digest than text-books. I will keep looking.
