Introduction

This is a Python implementation of the Battleship game, with a Flask UI.

Description

Players can place their ships on a board, and can play against an AI opponent (or multiplayer in a future iteration!), taking turns to sink eachothers ships until one or the other sinka all ships, declaring one side the winner!

There are 3 different versions of the game. One is a simple version, where you can attack ships on a predetermined board, giving coordinates in the terminal. The second is with an AI opponent, which can attack your board and you aim to destroy all the opponents ships before it destroys yours, which is also in the terminal. The third is the main game which can be played on the browser against the AI opponent.
