Battleship

A "Battleship" game is a two-player strategy game where each player secretly positions a fleet of ships on a grid, and then takes turns calling out coordinates to try and "sink" the opponent's ships by guessing their locations, aiming to be the first to destroy all of their opponent's vessels; essentially a guessing game based on naval warfare where players try to locate and destroy the other's hidden fleet by calling out grid coordinates.

Instructions

In this implementation, the user is playing on the Computer's grid, while the Computer's ships are randomly placed on its grid. Here’s how it works:

Rules in the web-based game

1. User Role (Player):

   • The user interacts with the Computer's grid by clicking cells to attack.
   • The attack function determines whether the user hits or misses the Computer's ships.
   • Hits are marked with 🔥 (fire) and misses with 💧 (water).

2. Computer's Role:

   • The Computer doesn’t yet attack the user's grid in the current implementation.
   • The user's grid is currently there for visual purposes, but it's not used interactively.

Once all the battleships have been hit, an alert will let the user know that he has won the game.

Rules in the terminal-based game

1. Your Grid (Player):

   • The user interacts with the Your Grid grid by inserting the row and column numbers.
   • The attack function determines whether the user hits or misses the Enemy Grid's ships.
   • Hits are marked with 🔥 (fire) and misses with 💧 (water).

2. Enemy Grid's Role:

   • The Enemy Grid (enemy) doesn’t yet attack the user's grid in the current implementation.

Once all the battleships have been hit, the console will let the user know that he has won the game.

Before playing the game on your terminal

1. Install prompt-sync:

   • On windows, in your project directory, type npm install prompt-sync in your terminal.

2. Start the game with node command:

   • After prompt-sync has been installed successfully, type battleship-game-terminal.js in your terminal and make sure the current directory is correct.

3. If you want to exit the game:

   • After the game has been started, type exit to quit the game.
