Sprint 4 User Stories
As a player, I want a new ship that is more complicated as to add more complexity to the game.
- A new ship will be added called a submarine that can go underwater or on top of the water
- This ship will be able to be placed under the any other ship
- It will take up 5 blocks of space the captains quarters in red shown below
Testing:
As visible in the image above, submarines may now be placed. They have a button like all the other ships. There is no order to ship placement, and you may now place four ships instead of three.
Submarines may be placed like normal ships, on the surface. In this mode they may be attacked from the start just like any other ship.
Submarines may also be placed in 'submerged' mode, where they may overlap with other ships. Submerged submarines may not be attacked by normal attacks, they can only be hit by special weapons which will be explained in the next user story.
As you can see the captains quarters are at the head of the submarine as shown in the earlier graphic.
Testing:
As a player, I want to have a new type of weapon to add more complexity to how the game is played.
- A new weapon will be added called "the space laser" that will penetrate underwater unlike the normal weapon that only hits what on the surface
- This means that this weapon will be the only way to take out a submarine that is underwater
- This weapon will also be able to take out both a ship on the surface and the submarine that may be below it.
- This weapon will only unlock once the player has sunk one of the other player's ships and replace the normal weapon
Testing:
As you can see the player has placed a minsweeper and destroyer on the top line horizontally and a battleship on the second line horizontally. Underneath these two lines of ships is a submarine.
After the user destroys the first ship, a message shows up, explaining the usage of the space laser and replaces the normal attack with a "space laser" the attacks made by the space laser show up a shade darker than a normal attack. Players may also attack squares that they have attacked previously to check for submerged submarines.
As a player, I would like to be able to move my feet so that I can better strategize against the opponent.
- The player will now be able to move all their ships one position
- The player will be able to choose which direction (N,S,E,W) they would like to move their ships
- The player will only be able to move their ships twice after sinking two ships
- The ships will not go off the board instead staying in place if on the edge
- The opponent will not be able to see that the moves where made.
