About the project

The main purpose was to practice Test Driven Development (TDD). We were asked to implement the classic game 'Battleship' while using TDD.

Assignment

• Your ‘ships’ will be objects that include their length, the number of times they’ve been hit and whether or not they’ve been sunk.
• REMEMBER you only have to test your object’s public interface. Only methods or properties that are used outside of your ‘ship’ object need unit tests.
• Ships should have a hit() function that increases the number of ‘hits’ in your ship
• isSunk() should be a function that calculates whether a ship is considered sunk based on its length and the number of hits it has received.
• Gameboards should be able to place ships at specific coordinates by calling the ship factory or class.
• Gameboards should have a receiveAttack function that takes a pair of coordinates, determines whether or not the attack hit a ship and then sends the ‘hit’ function to the correct ship, or records the coordinates of the missed shot.
• Gameboards should be able to report whether or not all of their ships have been sunk.
• There will be two types of players in the game, ‘real’ players and ‘computer’ players. Each player object should contain its own gameboard.
• Players should take turns playing the game by attacking the enemy Gameboard.
• make the ‘computer’ players capable of making random plays. The computer does not have to be smart, but it should know whether or not a given move is legal.
• Create conditions so that the game ends once one player’s ships have all been sunk

Maybe in future

• Implement drag and drop to allow players to place their ships.
• Create a 2-player option that lets users take turns by passing the laptop back and forth, or by spinning the monitor around on a desktop. Implement a ‘pass device’ screen so that players don’t see each other’s boards!
• Polish the intelligence of the computer player by having it try adjacent slots after getting a ‘hit’.
• Better visual and graphics
• Add sound effects
• Let user add their names
• Reset board option to again start game after it ends
