This program is a 2 person game of battleship.
When a player opens the game, the home screen appears and asks the player to start a new game or load the previous game.
When a new game is started, 2 boards are created with 4 ships placed randomly throughout each (two battleships of 5 consecutive spaces, one destroyer of 3 consecutive spaces, and one submarine of 2 consecutive spaces). The player sees a menu with options to (1) Launch a torpedo (2) View scores (3) View the boards (4) Quit. Each player has 30 turns, if they run out, the other player wins.
When a user selects (1) player1 is prompted to launch the first torpedo. The game checks to make sure the player has turns left. If so, they are asked to enter a position on their board with coordinates A-T and 1-20. When the player enters a position, the game checks make sure the position was not already played, to see if it is a hit or a miss, and to make sure it is within the board. If the position was not already played, and is within the board, the game will return hit or miss and update the board and the database. The player will see "hit" or "miss" on the screen and the menu again. If the player has sunk an entire ship, they game will say "you sank a ship!" The next time the player chooses (1) player2 will be prompted to take a turn.
When the player selects (2) they are prompted to enter player1 or player2 to view the corresponding score. After entering player1 or player2 the screen will show that player's turns with the position and if it was a hit or a miss.
When the player selects (3) they are prompted to enter player1 or player2 to view the corresponding board. After entering player1 or player2 the screen will show the game board with all the positions and "[x]"'s where they have made hits, and "[0]"'s where they have missed.
When the player selects (4) the player sees a battleship and the program closes.
When the player selects "load" they players can view their scores from last time, and load the boards with the same ships from the previous game. But, when adding the hits and misses back onto the board, there are bugs that turn the board arrays into nil, preventing the game from working correctly.
There is no seed data for this program because either a new game is started with no turns taken by either player yet, or the previous game is loaded for which there are specific turns made by each person.
