BattleShips

About

BattleShips is my first attempt to make an online game. It is a copy of the pen and pencil game called BattleShips, in Czech known as 'Lodě'. Currently it's work in progress.
This is a picture of what the game looks like right now:

Requirements

You need python version 3.9 or compatible and pygame installed. For running the game you will need to be on the same local network as the server is, but internet access is not needed. It should be possinble to have the server on a different network, but I haven't tested it yet.

Running

You need to start exactly one server instance and then you can start as many clients as you wish.

ServerMain.py
BattleShips.py
BattleShips.py
BattleShips.py

Once you start the server a message like this will pop up:

INFO:root:server ready and listening at 192.168.0.159:1250

You will need to make sure that the SERVER_ADDRES constant above the Session class in ./Client/Session.py is the same as the server address reported in the message.

Controls

LMB

Place a ship on the board or pick up a ship from the board.

RMB

Pick up a ship from the board. Note that this will override the ship you're currently holding.

Mouse wheel

Change size of the ship you're placing.

R

Change the orientation of the ship you're placing.

Q

Choose a ship which is the same size as the ship you are hovering over or free your cursor.
