lol. I just use a variation of the solver I made all the same. It is much faster and less prone to error.

link not working
good job btw

The server that is hosting the site is down. Since I have no access to this server, I cannot tell you what is wrong or when it will be back up. Hopefully it will be soon, but I have heard as much as you have regarding the situation.

Keep us posted when you do learn something.

Your hard work has made DW game far more fun and playable for many of us.

Kudos.

I have added this to a new server, while keeping the old one.

So you can now access the site from http://dream-world.50webs.com/ as well as http://dream-world.hostse.com/

I am tired of having it down. Hopefully they are not both down at the same time...

im just curious as to why put all this work into this tho it has been very helpful in the past and is a great thing just to have it down all the time to were people cant use it?

Well it is not on my server, so the downtime is frustrating. I just put it on another server so hopefully downtime will be less of a hassle. But I originally made these scripts to help myself, then I made them web accessible, then prettier, then I informed others about them.

I just want to thank you for hosting these, not that the questions are all that complicated but the farm animals ones generally take me a few minutes to answer due to the conveluted way I do it on paper. the mastermind was another one that usually took me a while to think about.

Thanks for saving me some time

Do you intend to have a Mastermind solver as well? I think it would be really nifty!

Considering its possible to guarantee a win in 5 moves in normal mastermind (6 colors), this one would be pretty easy to guarantee even if not using the best strategy (or so I imagine).

If you do wish to make one, here's a couple links to read up on

• http://mms.codeplex.com/
• http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Mastermind.html
• http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mastermind_%28board_game%29#Five-guess_algorithm
• http://algo.inria.fr/AofA/mailing_list/msg00080.html

If your using PHP, I could help with the coding. Or if your using JS (which is what it looks like), I could help to a lesser degree.
