ASCII Battleship v0.2

By Meta on Apr 09, 2012

First release of an ASCII based battleship game. There are a few things I plan on adding (such as a help system) and there may be a few bugs, but the game should work.

-- Example video: http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/clfqrTpmg

In order to play, you and another person must both have this script loaded. To start a game, type /bship . A request will be sent to that person allowing them to accept or deny your challenge. (Assuming that person has this script loaded.)

If your challenge request is accepted, a window will open in which you can place your ships on the board. To place your ships, click on the mark (rectangle) where you would like your ship to begin, and then click on the mark where you would like your ship to end. (Either in the same column or the same row as the start of the ship)

Once you have placed all your ships, a message will be sent to the other player alerting them that you are ready to begin. When both of you are ready, the game will begin. The person who initiated the challenge goes first.

When a game has started, simply click on the mark you would like to strike, and you will recieve an alert telling you if you've hit or missed one of the other players ships. In order to win, you must sink all of the other players ships.

Notes:
As I've mentioned, this script is still in development. Some things I plan on adding are:

  • Visual representation of ships left (when placing and while playing)
  • Help System
  • Whose turn alert
  • Named ships

    And like I also said, there may be a few bugs, so feel free to report any that you find. I do plan on improving and shortening the code too of course.


Made a few small changes. A bug with the ship counting while playing should be fixed. The game should also detect if you change your nick or quit IRC. I'm still working on the features above as well as error messages where needed.

o_O @Arigateaux - What error are you getting?

I've added a video demonstrating this script in action above.

Arigateaux   -  Apr 19, 2012

So this still doesn't work. When I try to place ships, it keeps coming up with errors after I'm trying to place the fourth piece.

Ok, I've made a few updates to the script.

Sorasyn   -  Apr 12, 2012

Looks intriguing, Meta. I may have to dust off mIRC and give it a shot.

I couldn't help but laugh a little bit regarding your comment, Spoof.

.00 = zero
.01 = 1 hundredth or 1/100 or 1%
.10 = 1 tenth or 1/10 or 10%

lol, ok Meta.

Meta   -  Apr 11, 2012

Meta inconspicuously points at his tags and code description. (KilllerX)

Btw, I have made some improvements over the last couple of days, so expect an update soon. Hopefully some of the major bugs will be completely fixed (if anyone was able to test this and find any) and hopefully the script will be more reliable as a result.

I've seen .1 used before to denote alpha. It just indicates that it's still in the early stages of testing.

 Respond  
KilllerX   -  Apr 11, 2012

But, when counting. Who start's counting at the number Zero. If this wasn't finished, It would be considered a Demo, but since it seems to be finished. It is considered Version 1.0 after that, you can increment the .0 to .1 or .2 or stuff like that.

@Spoof i sincerely hope you are kidding.

Spoof   -  Apr 10, 2012

.00 = tenths
.01 = 1 tenth
.10 tenths = a whole number called 1

Shouldn't it be called " v1.0 " seeing how 1.0 = 1 ? hmmmlol, dyslexic moment?

 Respond  
Meta   -  Apr 09, 2012

Hmm... something might've happened to the code while I was pasting it. I'll look at it and try to fix it when I get home. I should probably mention that this script (currently) relies almost entirely on custom CTCPs. so make sure that the person you are challenging can recieve them. I'll add error alerts for these things as well when I get home. Spoof, this script is still pretty much in the alpha phase, which is why I'm calling it v0.1 rather than v1.0

We just tried it and after accepting the challenge nothing happened. No errors were thrown.
