Welcome to my very very first Python Project!

This project is part of the learning material for Code Institute's Fullstack Web Developer program.

It's taken a lot of experimentation, trial, and at times, mostly error.

You can check it out on Heroku here

This project was created in order to get familiar with common development tools like Git & GitHub, and how to use them to write and manage python code.

The Battleships game is played on grids on which each player's fleet of battleships are marked.

The locations of the fleets are concealed from the other player.

Players call shots at the other player's ships, and the objective of the game is to destroy the opposing player's fleet.

The application provides a working battleships game for a single user to play against the computer.

Current game set to 8*8 board, 1 cell ship size and 10 turns.

To play, try to guess the rows & colums (grid reference) that contain enemy ships.

Entering a row and column will fire a missile at the grid reference.

You have 10 missiles / tries to win.

Good luck !!!

The classic Battle Ships game.

Anyone who likes simple games with a nostalgic retro touch

This project was written on github using Python.
