Battleship game

on YouTube ↗31m

" summary

Builds a playable two‑player Battleship clone with a React front end, Express/socket.io server and a simple AI that picks random unknown cells or targets wrecked-ship neighbors. Board is 10x10 and ships use sizes 5/4/3/3/2. Code places ships randomly, checks hits/kills, marks surrounding misses, caches game state, and emits fire/result events; the demo runs locally but uses single‑instance AI rather than true matchmaking. Notes include adding board hashing to prevent cheating and basic statistical AI learning.
