This game is a result of me trying to learn the Odin language by GingerBill.

The game is playable but I could think of some extra features and more optimizations, so I probably will commit some changes in the future. Therefore it's work in progress.

It does compile on Windows, OSX and Linux.

As for now player plays vs. computer and player will always go first.

Like in real battle ships board game you have to place 5 ships on a map of 10x10 grid.

Name and Length of ships:

1. Carrier (5)
2. Battleship (4)
3. Cruiser (3)
4. Submarine (3)
5. Destroyer (2)

Ships are not allowed to place diagonal or adjacent to another ship, there has to be a minimum of one empty cell between them.

Placing the ships work like a1h where a is the column and 1 the row. h means horizontal, v means vertical. So a carrier ship with a lenght of 5 would be placed vrom a1 to e1 horinzontal by typing in a1h You can also chose to type in auto so your ships will be placed randomly on the board.

After placing the ships you have to type in where you want to shoot at ... for e.g. g5.

If you hit a ship, you can continue shooting as long as your shots don't miss. If you miss, computer is at turn. If the ship you were shooting at has sunk, you can choose a new cell to shoot at.

Same rules go for computer's turns.

The game is considered won when either player or computer has sunk all ships.

You can type q at every time to either quit or start a new game.

I've provided two build files for Windows and OSX.

• Windows: build.bat Usage: build.bat debug or build.bat release
• OSX and Linux: build.sh Usage: ./build.sh debugor ./build.sh release

Both files will also start the game automatically after succesful build. The executables can be found in either bin/debug or bin/release folders.
