// problem

The classic Battleships game requires managing game state, enforcing complex gameplay rules, and providing an intuitive user experience. Building a digital version presents additional challenges such as ship placement validation, turn-based gameplay, hit detection, win condition management, and maintaining clean, modular application architecture throughout the game.

// approach

  1. 01Developed a fully interactive digital implementation of the classic Battleships game.
  2. 02Built game logic to manage ship placement, turn-based gameplay, hit detection, and victory conditions.
  3. 03Implemented validation to prevent invalid ship placement, overlapping ships, and out-of-bounds positioning.
  4. 04Designed reusable components and modular architecture to separate game logic from the user interface.
  5. 05Created dynamic game state management to provide real-time updates throughout gameplay.
  6. 06Developed a responsive interface that provides clear visual feedback for player actions, hits, misses, and sunk ships.
  7. 07Applied object-oriented programming principles and clean coding practices to create a maintainable and extensible codebase.
