Download Game

A JavaFx 8 Application that simulates the pen and paper game "Bulls and Cows" as a Desktop JavaFX application.

The numerical version of this game is usually played with 4 digits, but can also be played with 3 or any other number of digits.This application handles guessing only a 4 digit number.

On a sheet of paper, the players each write a 4-digit secret number. The digits must be all different. Then, in turn, the players try to guess their opponent's number who gives the number of matches. If the matching digits are in their right positions, they are "bulls", if in different positions, they are "cows".

Secret number: 4271

Opponent's try: 1234

Answer: 1 bull and 2 cows. (The bull is "2", the cows are "4" and "1".)

In this Application, the number to be guessed is set by the System. And based on the user's guesses, provides hints for the user to solve. A little quirky addition in this iteration of this age-old game, is the use of emojis.
