Description

C# implementation of Knuth's algorithm to solve Mastermind within 5 guesses.

TODO

• Implement RandomSecret
• Figure out why the non-parallel code is so slow
  • Answer: fix hot spot by optimising EvaluateScore - avoid LINQ in favour of simpler but faster code
• Implement command line args
• Implement parallelisation
