A terminal version of the famous "Battleship" game
This is a school project
This is a terminal version of the "Battleship" game, where the goal is to sink the enemy's boats on a board by 'shooting' at precise coordinates to try to hit every parts of the said boats, but their positions and orientations are unknown.
./navy [first_player_pid] myboard.txt
Passing a value as the first_player_pid will make navy try to connect to that said PID (process ID).
If no PID is passed, the program will simply wait for a connection.
The board size is 8x8. Player boards that are passed as arguments are describe in text files.
You will find find two test boards in the repository's root.
The boards must contain 4 boats of length 2 to 5.
They are formated the following way:
BOAT_LENGTH:BOAT_HEAD:BOAT_TAIL
For exemple:
2:C1:C2
Here C1 and C2 repectively represent BOAT_HEAD and BOAT_TAIL.
Translatting C1 in XY coordinates would give us :
X = 'C' = 3
Y = '1' = 1
