ColorCode

COLOR CODE

Six colors. Four slots. Eight tries.

Crack a hidden color code in a calm, pocket-sized logic puzzle for Game Boy Color. Choose your colors, read the clues, and make each try count. There is no timer.

Read the Clues

- EXACT — solid diamond: the color and its position are both correct.

- PARTIAL — empty square: the color is correct, but its position is wrong.

The numbers describe your whole try; they do not identify individual slots. Each secret slot is counted only once.

By default, the hidden code uses four different colors. You can allow repeated colors before a new game; this permits duplicates but does not require them in every code. Your tries can contain duplicates in either mode. An incomplete try does not use an attempt.
