Open Microsoft Excel.
Change your page orientation to Landscape.
Change your margins to .25.
Make sure that your page fits 1 page wide by 1 page long.
Select Columns A to Y. Change the column width to 3.
Highlight cells A1 to Y23. Change the color to a shade of blue for the ocean. This
is your playing grid. It is very helpful to use boarders on your gridlines.
Now create another board next to the last one in cells AA to AY. This is to be
used as your opponent’s playing grid.
Click View/Zoom. Zoom to 100%.
Enter the name Battleship below the playing grid.
Enter your name vs. your opponent’s name (for example, Leslie vs. Lance) below
Battleship.
Now, place your ships on your grid. You have the following ships:
a.
1 Carrier – 5 cells
b.
1 Battleship – 4 cells
c.
2 Nuclear Submarines – 3 cells
d.
1 Submarine – 3 cells
e.
2 Destroyers– 2 cells
To place your ships, select the correct number of cells and then color them a color
of your choice (not black or red, though). Remember, your cells can only go across
or down.
Now, choose someone to go first. Whomever goes first chooses coordinates (i.e.
B12). If B12 is a miss, the person that went should change the cell color to black.
If it is a hit, change it to red.
Continue playing the game until you sink all the ships.
Once you’ve finished the game, place the name of the
winner across the playing grids.
Save your board as yournameBattleship and turn in the
shared folder for grading.
