Battleship!
Description
In this assignment, I will create the game called Battleship! using the instructions from Codecademy. Battleship! is a game of chance. The objective is to sink your opponent’s battleship. Their battleship is scattered somewhere on the board. You try and hit their battleship by typing a number within the coordinates on the board. If you sink their battleship, you win.
Test Run
Thoroughly test your game. Make sure you try a variety of different guesses and look for any errors in the syntax or logic of your program.
Play It, Sam
1. Add a for loop that repeats the guessing and checking part of your game for 4 turns, like the example above.
2. At the beginning of each iteration, print “Turn”, turn + 1 to let the player know what turn they are on.
3. Indent everything that should be repeated.
Game Over
Add an if statement that checks to see if the user is out of guesses.
–Put it under the else that accounts for misses.
–Put it after the if/elif/else statements that check for the reason the player missed. we want “Game Over” to print regardless of the reason.
If turn equals 3, print “Game Over”.
A Real Win
Add a break under the win condition to end the loop after a win.
