Mastermind Game

This game, constructed in JS, CSS, and HTML with a Data-Centric Approach, prioritizes accessibility by integrating colors, patterns, and sounds for users with color vision difficulties.

I've come to realize that every Mastermind game I've encountered online is designed solely with colors, limiting accessibility. My aim in creating this game was to recreate this beloved classic, making it inclusive for all by incorporating patterns and colors. This approach broadens sensory engagement, ensuring everyone can partake in the fun.
