Game Rules

Objective

The objective of the Battleship Game is to sink all of your opponent's ships before they sink yours. Each player has a fleet of five different-sized ships: Carrier (5 cells), Battleship (4 cells), Destructor (3 cells), Submarine (3 cells), and Patrol Boat (2 cells).

Game Setup

• The game board consists of two grids: one for each player - Player and Computer.
• Players take turns to guess the coordinates of their opponent's ships on the opponent's grid.
• The game starts with the Player placing their ships on their own grid. The Computer's ships are placed randomly.

Gameplay

• Players take turns firing shots at their opponent's grid by selecting a cell on the grid.
• If a shot hits an enemy ship, it's marked as a "hit."
• If a shot misses all enemy ships, it's marked as a "miss."
• The first player to sink all of their opponent's ships wins the game.

Ship Placement

• The Player can manually place their ships on their grid at the start of the game.
• Ships can be placed horizontally or vertically on the grid, as long as they fit within the boundaries and don't overlap.
• Use the "Change Direction" button to switch between horizontal and vertical placement.

Winning the Game

• The game continues until one player sinks all of their opponent's ships.
• When all ships of a player are sunk, the opposing player is declared the winner.
