Words cannot describe the atrocites I've committed

So, I'm working on making Mastermind as a way to learn more about programming with graphical user interfaces in mind. The core logic for checking this and that took maybe 2-3 hours of programming, tops, to build. Plus a day or two to think of how to solve a really tough part (Which, to my knowledge, works correctly now, but I suck at Mastermind so I can't tell 100%. but it seems to be correct).

While I developed the game from the console first with the concept of switching over to a graphical user interface later, I quickly found that I didn't structure my code well enough for the changeover and, well, what started as a project that should take a few days and be somewhat elegant (as I try to be... well, elegant isn't the right word... I just mean like... not using more lines than needed) into something that's bogged me down and forced me to give up a feature I had planned (Just as well... I can't manipulate AutoCad like I used to anyway).

Once frustration set in I stopped caring about code elegance and just started bulldozing whatever wasn't finished (It's a decision based on time spent on coming up with a good solution vs. time spent forcing the solution into place which a computer can still solve pretty fast... whichever saves me more time I pick) because I'm just getting frustrated with it all.

Oh, don't get me wrong. It's almost finished (I just need to refactor a few things). Well, single player anyway.

Then comes two-player support and computer play. Yeah, making an AI will be real fun.

I think after this I'll go make Battleship.
