Description

Battleship is a close adaption of the board game which can be either played against a LAN opponent or against the AI. The game is played on a 10x10 grid where both players place five ships of carious sizes (e.g. the aircraft carrier is five fields long). Then both players take turns and shoot one field on the opponent's board. The goal is to destroy all ships first.

This version adds three AI play levels, the option to send messages to the other player (obviously only useful for multiplayer matches) and a library of pre-arraned ship formations.
