Goal of Warship

Warship is a game similar to battleship in which one
player and one computer (simulated) compete on two
square grids, one for each player. The grides are
identified by rows and columns . On one grid the player
arranges his own ships and records shots taken by the
opponent. On the other grid the opposite way the
player records his own shots taken towards his
opponent. The player places the ships manually into the
grid and the computer automatically assigns the ships
positions. Each turn the player attempts to destroy the
opponents ship by plotting their attack on the opponents
grid. The first player to destroy all his opponents ships
wins.
Code Technique Implemented
The Warship game was set into a basic header (.h) and two source
files for the class and the driver (.cpp).
Instead of using an array the warship board is simply entered into
columns and rows with the getblock function initializing a x and y
variable. This board is finally printed out with the print grid function
specified under the warship.h header file displaying the game board.
There are also horizontal and vertical direction set to show the
navigation of the warships.
These coordianates will be manually entered by the selected player
also with a flag set to remind the player if the position has been
acquired already.
Auto shoot and Auto ship placement commands have also been
implemented within the game for the computer to predict its
movements instead of an onslaught player vs. player game.
More Code teChniques…..
Several cases are included into the code for x and y grid ship placements and shot
predictions by players and computers. These different cases allow the program to
identify a direct hit with the grid placement of ships on the board.
If the case is true then the program breaks off and displays (cout) a message stating
that there has been a direct hit on target.
The position of the ships are important to each player to avoid a direct coordinate of
enemy fire.
Once the game is played and either player or computer has won a message of victory
is displayed using the game statues command and get ship functions. This leads to
the prompting of the program to display the message of entering another game
similar to: “would you like to play another game”?
This prompt can either be answered with a y or n for yes or no. If yes is selected
another game is prompted if no is selected the program reads this answer as play
=false and exits the game.

Improvements???
 Networking Warship
 Multiple players instead of computer vs. player mode
 3D mode warship
 Implement save/load game function
 Add different types of vessels such as submarines, cruisers,
destroyers.
 Add sounds to the program into the MS-Dos prompt.
