Battleship

Link To The Game

Description

This is my solution of the BattleShip assignment in The Odin Project. The main aim of the assignment was to learn how to use the tests in the programs. We were asked to make the players, ships object and test them using jest. Additionally were asked to make the computer smart so that it makes move similar to humans.

How To Play the game?

• When you open the game on the first page you will be asked to enter your Name(required).

• Below the heading of the "BattleShip" there is message box which indicates the status of what is happening in the game.
• On the third page we have 2 waters "Enemy" and "Friendly".
• Below the name of the water we have indicator lights which indicate the status of the ship Green for Active and Red for Lost.

• When you sink a enemy ship then the light below that ship will turn red.
• Similarly computer makes attack on your friendly water. If the attack that computer makes is successful then the red dot is placed on friendly water else a white dot is placed on the friendly water.
• If all the ships of the single player are sunk then fourth page loads.
• On the fourth page then name of the winner is given.
• To play the game again you can press Play again button.

How computer plays the game?

If computer makes a successful attack then it makes other attacks adjacent to the this successful attack. If the attack was not successful then computer places its attack randomly on the positions that have not been attacked. If the board is 45% filled then computer makes attack on the continuous empty boxes with the length of the longest user ship left.
