Terminal battleship game

battleship's Issues

Game Board Edit

Edit the game board to use O's for 'Ocean' instead of 'S' for 'Sea'.

Attack Function

Create a function that changes the gameboard to reflect 'X' instead of the current value at the hit site after you have made a guess/attack.

If you hit a ship site it should change the ship value from 'C' or 'U' or 'D' to 'X' but also put into a new list the ship value that you are losing.

hit_ships = []

Sank Function

Use the hit_ships and .count() to create a function that will print "You destroyed my [shipname]" when the count of a certain ship's value == the ship's size.

Use len() to print "Congratulations! You won!" if the length of hit_ships == sum of all of the placed ship's sizes.

Change Row and Column Numbers

Rows should be structured as letters and columns should be real numbers, not indices.

Test Attack Function

Add tests that test the new attack function. Create variable hit_ships which is referenced in attack.

Create Ship Directory

Create a dictionary of ship types and lengths that can be used when creating your Battleship Board. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battleship_(game)

Letter Class of ship Size
'C' Carrier 5
'B' Battleship 4
'R' Cruiser 3
'S' Submarine 3
'D' Destroyer 2

Print Player's Current Board

Function that allows a player to print his board with his ships and which have been sunk or hit.

Print Opponent's Board

Create a function that allows a player to print their opponents board which shows the player's hits and misses.

Cleanup duplicate logic in Board

Currently in the Board class there is looping logic that is duplicated between place_ship and collides.

I recommend we create a method called get_sequence. This method would take the starting row, column, and sequence_size as well as the direction the sequence should be captured. get_sequence would return all of the values from that sequence in the board.

For example given the board below, if you wanted to get the sequence of C, you would call get_sequence(row=1, col=2, seq_sz=3, direction='NS') # NS (NorthSouth). Which would return a list of the values from that sequence, ['C', 'C', 'C'] allowing you to easily check for collisions when placing a ship.

Game Over?

If you sank a ship, check to see if all ships have been sank and if they have end the game. You win!

create sank_ships list = []
if sank(ship) == True, check length of sank_ships and if length is 5, end game.

Place Ship Input

Define a function that receives raw input from the player on where they want to place each ship and uses place_ship to alter the board.
