Battleship Game

This is a simple text-based Battleship game implemented in Python. The player has 4 chances to guess the location of the hidden ship on a 5x5 grid.

How the Game Works

  • A 5x5 grid is created where each cell is represented by an "O".
  • A hidden battleship is placed randomly on the grid.
  • The player gets 4 turns to guess the location of the battleship by inputting row and column coordinates.
  • After each guess, the game provides feedback:
    • If the guess is correct, the player wins.
    • If the guess is incorrect, the game continues and the guessed position is marked with an "X".
    • If the guess is out of bounds or a position has already been guessed, appropriate feedback is provided.
  • After 4 incorrect guesses, the game ends with "Game Over".

Code Overview

  • board: A 5x5 grid initialized with "O" representing the ocean.
  • random_row() and random_col(): Functions that generate random row and column coordinates for the battleship.
  • print_board(): Function to print the current state of the board in a user-friendly format.
  • Game loop: The player has 4 turns to guess the ship’s location. The game provides feedback based on the player's guesses.

Example

Turn 1
Guess Row: 2
Guess Col: 3
You missed my battleship!

How to Run

  1. Install Python (if not already installed).
  2. Run the script in the terminal or command prompt using: 
    python battleship.py
  3. Input your guesses when prompted.

Future Enhancements

  • Add multiple ships to increase difficulty.
  • Implement a larger board with more turns.
  • Allow diagonal movement for more complex strategies.
  • Add a replay option at the end of the game.

This README provides a clear description of how the game works, the code's structure, and how to run the program.
