General Info

Battleship was a paired project assigned to us during week 2 of Mod 1 of 4 in Turing's School of Software & Design. Our challenge was to use Ruby to build a command line implementation of the classic game Battleship.

Battleship is a classic board game where players place one or more ships on a grid board, and then take turns trying to “sink” the other player’s ships by guessing their coordinates. The game ends when one player’s ships are all hit and “sunk”.

Learning Goals

• Work in a pair, using Pull Requests to collaborate

Technologies

• Ruby 2.7
• RSpec
• Pry
• SimpleCov
• Git

Usage 🚢

In your terminal, run git clone with the copied URL.

Navigate into the battleship directory and run ruby battleship_runner.rb.

Welcome to our game! You will be prompted to place your ships, similar to the image below.



After ship placement, you and the computer will take turns attempting to hit each other's battleships. May the odds be in your favor.
