A student and I are doing a laptop duo with Max and SuperCollider. We are

using WingMan game controllers as our performer interface. My student

suggested that we use a video game (invisible to the audience) as our

"score." As we play the game, the signals from the WingMn will send

messages to Max and SuperCollider via OSC.

All the technology works. What we need is the game. We have narrowed it to

Craps and MasterMind. It will take just an hour or so to implement Craps

but MasterMind will take much longer. Matrixcontrol gets us started. I know

how to design the .pct files for backgrounds and multistate buttons and I

know how to put and get. So my question is - has someone already

implemented MasterMind in Max? If so, would you be willing to share? We

would need the actual patch because we want trigger events based on the

encouraging presence of "js."

It's a good little programming exercise; my uncle wrote a version for 
fun back in the early 80's IIRC.
