Short:    MasterMind clone
Author:   David Thiede <dthiede@ieee.org>

Version:  1.0

Documentation: (Those that know me won't belive it!)

  This is a mastermind clone with a real simplistic UI. A circle at the
  bottom of the playfield indicates the current move. Left clicking on one
  of the four squares in that column will allow one of six colors to be
  selected. The colors cycle for each subsequent click.

  Left clicking on the current move indicator will cause the current set of
  colors to be evaluated against the computer selected hidden set.  A black
  circle will appear at the top of the column for each correct guess.  A
  white circle will appear for each correct color that is the wrong position.
  The current move indicator will move to the next column.

  When you have guessed the correct solution or ten guesses have been
  attempted, the correct solution will appear in the eleventh column.

  Right clicking anywhere on the play window will reset the board for a
  new game.

  For those of you who wish to have the computer assist you in the selection
  of a guess, try the middle mouse button on the move indicator.

  By default the game board is about 384x235. This can be overridden by
  command line parameters. The aspect ratio for square and circle layout
  can also be overriden. The defaults are shown below:

                 w   h    a
     usage: mm [400 250 [1.0]]

  The w and h values are just starting points. The specifications are for
  the play area (pixmap) and are adjusted smaller if needed to make a nicely
  proportioned layout. The enclosing window is sized around the pixmap.
