#10 for classicComp - after #5

Submarine

• new "O" -> "@"

Classic

• new "O" -> "@"
• new "X" -> "%"

• Set a main coordinate list, then pop random values from that to be guessed
  • (ensures that guesses will never be duplicated)
• Make hard mode pick a random half by splitting it and taking a random choice from the two halves

Make the README more descriptive.

For example:

• Large area (3x3?)
• Line

As per this wikiHow link there are some variants that could be added to the game.

TODO:

• Update Main Menu
• Add salvo rules (know hits/misses)
• Add advanced salvo rules (don't know hits/misses) -- tricky

• play(module, difficulty)
• Quit midgame functionality

After #5 is closed, run a simulation to make sure the difficulties are appropriate, like

[playComp() for _ in range(x)]

where playComp() returns the number of tries it takes and calculates the average.

• There shouldn't need to be a horizontal and a vertical function in answerSub and answerFull.
• compGuess() has a lot of duplication

In threeLong(), all grids are set to the same location, so a change to one changes all of them.

FIX: append a list of "X" coordinates to the answerGrid, and initialize grid from that

• guessIdentify()
• genTryHere()
• genTryFromHits()
• halfGL()

• Shift difficulties (ie. 0 -> 1, etc.) for subComp
• Add difficulty 0 (for no computer)

After an invalid guess, a valid guess doesn't make the counter go down in classic (check in submarine)

There shouldn't need to be a horizontal and a vertical function.

• submarine
• compSub
• classic
• compClass

• menu() - battleship.py
• compGuess() - classicComp.py
• Merge play() and playSingle()
  • Shift difficulties (ie. 0 -> 1, etc.) for subComp
  • Add difficulty 0 (for no computer)
• Pull out into module (Utils?)
  • guessIdentify()
  • genTryHere()
  • genTryFromHits()
  • halfGL()

Implement testing using pytest (?) for all the modules:

This might require pulling the guessing functionality out a bit

• submarine
• submarineComp
• classic
• classicComp

Just for ease of use for the user

Make where in the code r.choice is applied to the list of possible solutions more consistent for greater readability.

The program should keep track of what ships are sunk and let the user know when one is sunk, and how many are left.

Add the functionality for an actual game of Battleship for:

Find the Submarine

• Let player pick their ships' locations
• Make Difficulties:
  • Normal
    • Look for surrounding areas that have been hit
  • Hard
    • Look for hits in a row
    • Look for optimal starting guesses - every other
      • Vary which diagonal is searched

Classic

• Let player pick their ships' locations
• Make Difficulties:
  • Easy
    • Guess randomly
  • Normal
    • Look for surrounding areas that have been hit
  • Hard
    • Look for hits in a row
    • Look for optimal starting guesses
• Cope with ships beside each other (hard) ***
• play(module, diff)
• Test pickShip() - balance difficulties (#10)
• Make player ships not overlap
• Update README

Add additional board sizes with different amounts of ships, including the standard one.
