BattleshipLite Project

This is a console-based 2-player game that is based on the popular board game Battleship from Mattel. The game involves a 25-spot grid ranging from A1 - E5, where each player will place 5 pegs on the board to represent their 5 ships. Players will take turns firing at their opponents’ ships, and the first person to sink all 5 ships wins.

Logic Design

Clear Display Method: Asking for name. Method: Get ship placement. Method: Determine if valid spot for ship. Storing ship information: List per user? Storing shot information: List per user? Method: Create the grid for the user. Method: Print out grid. Method: Fire on Opponent. Method: Determine if a shot can be taken & outcome. Method: Display score. Method: Print winner and shots taken. Data Design User’s name – string. User’s ship locations – List. User’s shot grid – List.
