Battleships Challenge

We have to create the battleships game, I've isolated the small steps to achieve this ( well maybe not):

A player is created:

• has a name
• has a board
• Can shoot to a board
• Can see his own grid
• Can see if he still has ships floating

A board is created:

• Boards are 10x10 grids
• Each board is an array
• Boards have columns and rows.
• Each row is an array
• To call a value you have to pick a row and then the column
• ships are created.
• A ship can take up more than one element
• A ship can be present in more than one row/column
• Registers shots, shows if you hit the water or a boat
• Can see the opponents view, hidding the living ships new

Battleships

We're creating a board with random boats, every method should be at around maybe 2-3 lines. Rules for the board:

• Ships can't overlap
• Must be created inside the board
• Not touch each other

And you have to create:

• 4 ships of 1
• 3 ships of 2
• 2 ships of 3
• 1 ship of 4

So the way around this is that you have an array of arrays:

              # 0  1  2
mega_board = [ [a, b, c], # 0
               [c, d, e], # 1
               [f, g, h], # 2
               [h, i, j], # 3
               [k, l, m] ] # 4

This is how it renders right now
