It does seem to take a while, doesn't it.
I double checked the rules, and a 10x10 grid, with a 2-long ship, two 3's, a 4 and a 5, does seem to be the general default.

Yeah, AL will carry on randomly dotting around, before it settles on destroying ships. Once he does "attack" he seems to over-attack, seeking to target all surrounding places, just to ensure he got it good and proper!!
I really need to enhance the AI on this one a bit, I think.



A bit of a cheat, if I'm honest. I was originally aiming to "bump" the ships around, if you place one on top of the other, but then they kept bumping outside of the playfield, and .. It got very hard to keep it all under control!!
Instead, I opted to leave it entirely up to the player, and only have the "Ready" button appear if everything was ok.
It made the coding a LOT simpler, and it doesn't feel out of place.

A good lazy-man's compromise, I think.


I also could do with a "KABOOOOM!" for the final blasts.
But that needs me to work my "Additional Sounds" stuff into the engine, and I haven't got around to that, yet.


I'm not happy with the look of the ships. I'll probably redesign (and/or actually bother to design) the ships in future.



Yeah, it works well enough, but there's plenty of stuff I could do to make it better.
If/when I do, I'll be sure to let you know.
