Hello... I'm not entirley new to Java but I have some problems with an assignment that I'm doing. I hope that you guys can help me with a little bit.
We are asked to write a battleship game. We are asked to enter the location of four ships: a BattleShip, Destroyer, Cruiser & Tug. Theres 2 boards for the game.. A challenger board and a program board.
Once the ships have been placed the game boards should be shown as follows. Notice the challenger's ship locations are shown, but the locations of the program's ships are hidden and it is the user's task to try and sink them. (While the program is shooting back.). The user should be prompted for the co-ordinate of the bow (top leftmost square) of the ship and the direction which can be vertical "V" or horizontal "H". For example:
The game should be something like this:
Challenger Program
0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
0~ ~ ~ D D D D ~ ~ ~ 0~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
1~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 1~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
2~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 2~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
3~ ~ ~ ~ B ~ ~ C C C 3~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
4~ ~ ~ ~ B ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 4~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
5~ ~ ~ ~ B ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 5~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
6~ ~ ~ ~ B ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 6~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
7~ ~ ~ ~ B ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 7~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
8~ T T ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 8~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
9~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ 9~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
----------------------------------------------------------
Anyway...
I've done this so far... but the code below shows only one board. I need to
show to boards.. one for the program and one for the challenger.
And I need to know how to enter the vertical/horizontal co-ordinates.. what code shoud I add.
The code is aliitle bit messy.. but any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks alot in advance.
