Programming Challenge: Battle Ships

14 Mar

I have been studying programming for about a year now and want to challenge myself to see how much I know and still need to learn so I decided to make a small game based on battle ships.

Its going to be a fairly simple console based version to which I am hoping to add features and functionality as I learn more and more.

Specifications:

  • Written in C language to be ported later to C++ or C# and made a console program
  • Should display the screen using X
  • The ships will be displayed using DDDD for destroyer, and be allowed to place vertical or horizontally
  • Basic battleships rules apply
  • It will have single player initially and hopefully multiplayer on both the same machine and over a network
  • Cross platform compatibility on Linux and Windows
  • Specs maybe changed or updated at a later date

Software Used:
