Coordinate Grid Battleship (+) project planning 2/2
I'm using the official Battleship rules as a guide for my game (which i ~have definitely~ started making)
General Info
quiet activity
Computers: 2
Players: 2 - 4
Grade:
CC Standard:
Objective:
Game Objective: Be the first to hit all of your classmate's boats
Ships
In battleship there are five types of ships
1x 5 long
1x 4 long
2x 3 long
1x 2 long
Dock has five chests for the five types of ship. each chest will be one set of boats, each set is a different type of wood. students can place boats horizontally and vertically, no diagonal boats. each type needs to be in a line.
Attacks
students use the chat feature to name their guess at a boat location. should be said in point form - use the chat feature to attack.
play with command blocks, npcs, agent to input the point? i'd really like to do that... make it so that when students input a point (correctly, hopefully) then a fire charge (or similar) is fired at that point of the opposite player, would be a cool way to be immediate.
if it's a hit - students can say so... hit a button? another command thingy?
Tracking
students use the vertical wall to track the attacks they have made - another command block?
tracking ships - redstone torch over a boat? w/ the type of boat?
Extension
Salvo - didn't know about this game. students do 5 attacks at a time - 1 per type of boat you have on the water. once there are 4 types, 1 type is gone, attacks go down to 4 at a time, etc.
Next Steps
make the x2 ocean boards and x2 vertical boards
make the docks with all the chests and extra room
fit the world boarder
create a wall between the two boards with a door between so students can check each other's board at the end of the game
figure out boats
