About Battleship

Battleship is a classic strategy game where you compete against an enemy to sink their fleet of ships. Each player places their ships on a hidden grid and takes turns guessing the locations of the opponent’s ships. The first player to sink all of the enemy’s ships wins the game. It’s a test of strategy, memory, and luck!

Controls

Setup: Place your fleet of ships on your grid.
Ships can be placed horizontally or vertically but not diagonally.
Gameplay: Take turns with the enemy to call out grid coordinates (e.g., B5) to try and hit each other’s ships.
Hits and Misses: Mark hits and misses on your tracking grid.
A hit means part of a ship is located at that coordinate; a miss means no ship is there.
Winning: The game continues until one player sinks all of the opponent’s ships.

Tips

Remember where you've already guessed to avoid repeating squares and narrow down ship locations
Try guessing in a pattern first (like every other square) to find ships, then guess nearby squares once you get a hit
Pay attention to which squares your opponent guesses to predict where they think your ships are
