Project Overview

This Battleship project focuses on building fundamental algorithms, 2D matrix manipulation, and state management. Players set up fleets on hidden boards and duel an AI adversary to eliminate enemy vessels first.

Key Features

2D Coordinate System: Clearly formatted alpha-numeric grid navigation with hit/miss tracking.
Historical Naval Trivia: Educational trivia facts triggered throughout the match to reward curious players.
Collision & Boundary Detection: Robust placement validation preventing overlapping ships and out-of-bounds placements.

Play in the Sandbox

You can run this project interactively right inside the CodeHS sandbox environment without installing any compilers or software.
