This repo is created to practice some low-level-design using the battleship game as an example.

Hello, and welcome to Battleship

To Start the game run gameloop.py

Please read the following before you run the game:

The game right now is set to auto mode. So once you start, it will make random gusses and play automatically against the computer, but you can change that in the code.

Game features. (checked means done ;)

• Play against the computer.
• Support more than two players.
• Different winning strategies (Annihilation, Score, TimeLimit).
• Change the board to be a matrix instead of a hash_table.
• Add automated Testing
• Allow players to choose a Placement strategy(Manual, Auto).
• Implement the Manual Placement Strategy
• Dockerize the game
• Change the way the winning strategy works to use observable pattern, to get notified when a player is hit or destroyed.
• Need to add a game_config class to pass to the game class. It should contain, row_count, col_count, player_count, etc...
• Different types of boards (square, rectangle, circle, etc...).
• Get rid of all the ToDo comments.

battleship's Issues

Allow players to choose a placement strategy

Currently the game places the ships automatically for the computer and for any human player. We need to implement the ManualPlacementStrategy class that will allow human players to place their ships themselves.

Notify all players when a player is totally destroyed

When there are more than two players, we need to notify all players when a player is destroyed.

Add automated test

We need to choose a test runner and add automated test to the game.

Track remaining ships in O(1)

The method Player.has_ships() to report if there are any remaining ships by tracking the ships in a class variable instead of looping through the entire board.
