Your move: My move:
You have hit my Frigate
Hit on your Frigate
I trust I don't have to introduce Battleships, but in case you haven't even played it before I'll give a brief outline of the idea. The game falls into two stages; firstly you place your ships in a way that you hope your opponent won't be able to hit them easily. Then you take turns at firing shots at each other, hoping to hit, and ultimately sink, all of your opponent's ships before he or she sinks all of yours.
Once you have placed your ships, the computer's ships are placed automatically, and you can then fire on them. You specify a position to fire upon; a * appears in that square if you hit something, and what you hit is displayed below. If you miss, a . appears in the square. Then the computer takes a shot at you, with the same effect if it hits one of your ships.
This continues until either you hit and sink all of the computer's ships, or vice versa. There is a move counter at the side for those of you vain enough to worry about these things.
