Battleship BitShips

A command-line implementation of the classic Mattel game, using Python, the curses library, emojis and ASCII art.

Installation

To play BitShips, clone this repository and then run python lib/main.py from the repository directory.

Note To activate the cheat debug mode, enter xx at the coordinate prompt to turn on X-ray vision and see the computer's ships. 😎

Implementation

A Game class instance is created to store the game score and order player turns.

Grid class instances are created for the player and the computer to store the state of their individual game boards. Additional methods validate initial ship positioning, and confirm hits or misses.

The Window class provides a wrapper of the curses terminal rendering library, exposing the core functionality as class methods.

Future Goals

• Support multiple ship sizes (1x3, 1x4, 1x5)
• Improve computer play logic (currently randomized shots)
