A simple battleship game implemented in less than 500 lines of Python.
Just clone this repo and you are ready to rumble. There are no additional dependencies (besides Python3 itself).
~ git clone https://github.com/M0r13n/battleships.gitYou can now start the game by running:
~ python client.pyYou can then decide to either start the game as a server or as a client.
There are two boards displayed. The left displays your ships and their hits. The right shows your past shots, which can either be hits or misses.
| Color | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Black/ white | Empty Field |
| Green | Own Ship |
| Green with red X | Own Ship Hit |
| RED | Enemy Ship Hit |
| Yellow | Miss |
The game uses a TCP/IP socket to enable point to point communication between two players. It uses a simple protocol which consists of only two bytes.
+-------+-------+-------+---------+
| X | Y | Hit | Padding |

| 4 Bit | 4 Bit | 1 Bit | 7 Bit |

In fact the protocol is so simple that is easy to use other kinds of communication, such as ICMP packets. Just replace the Networking class and you are good to go.
