Write down the steps you follow and any rules you encounter

a$.$ To setup the game

b$.$ To play your turn in the game

c$.$ For the computer to play it$$s turn

$4.$ What properties $($things$)$ does your game have? Start with a grid. Set the default size to $10$ x$10$

but allow for larger sizes. A mod at the end would be to allow for more ships. What type of

data should your grid hold? Think ahead to how the game works.

$5.$ The standard game has $5$ ships. The next thing you can do is place your ships. The ships sizes

are:

$$ Length $2$ x $1$ ship

$$ Length $3$ x $2$ ships

$$ Length $4$ x $1$ ship

$$ Length $5$ x $1$ ship

This is a good place to use the switch statement inside a for loop to set the length and to

understand why we can sometimes leave the $$break;$$ out.

One way to place them is have the user enter the bow location and the port location and fill all

the ones between. We must assume the user is entering valid data. A mod later would be to

validate that data.

What do we use to indicate there is a ship in that location? Which ship?

$6.$ Now would be a good time for the computer to place its ships. For now, it may overwrite an

existing ship when placing one. We will fix this later.

It$$s ships will be the same sizes and can use the same switch and for loop.

Randomly choose vertical or horizontal.

Based upon the direction, choose a location that is valid. Don$$t let the ship fall off the ocean.

Then use the length to complete the ship.

$7.$ Write a method to display your grids. Add row and column labels as shown in the figure above.

Use char.

$8.$ Fix your computer grid so that all of it$$s ship locations are valid. Use Boolean flags to assist you.

$9.$ When you play the game you have $2$ grids. One for your ships and one for your hitMiss values.

The computer will need to keep track of it$$s guesses as well in compGuess. You need another

set of arrays for these. What will you store in them? What is a hit? Create constants HIT and

MISS. What could these values be$?$

Modify your display method to also display these $2$ new grids. Label them so you know what

you are looking at$.$

$10.$ Now it time to play the game. What is the sequence of steps to follow? Place these into a

playGame$()$ method. This method is pretty short and calls other methods.

$11.$ One of the methods your playGame$()$ should call is playerMove$().$ You need to read in the

player$$s guess. It will be in the format $$A$$ and $5$ and will have to be translated to row $4,$ column

$0.$

Check the computer grid for a HIT or MISS. Modify the hitMiss grid to represent the result.

If it is a hit, you should check to see if you sunk the boat. Remember the player doesn$$t know

which boat it hit, but the computer does. How can the computer check to see if all the parts of

this boat are now hit?

If the boat is sunk, you need to update some variables $($create them first$)$ so that you can check

if all boats are sunk $($checkForWin$)$
