PhasmaEx's Battleship

Short Description:

Battleship! Graphical Board As Well As Lots Of Added Features!

Full Description

This is my version of Battleship. Has a nice graphical layout so looks nicer than just the plain text, and allows the broadcaster to choose where the ships are placed, as well as randomly generated if they prefer. Fired shots are removed from the tip options menu, and display shows which ships are left. The graphics on the board also allow the display of destroyed ship, so there's no confusion on which hits are part of which ship.

Version 1.0.4 brings some stability updates, and hopefully should load faster, please check the changelog below for full details.

Some features I will be working on soon are adding ability for multi-goal gameplay, and a "mega-strike" high tip which hits all squares in a 3x3 grid, which will add a bit of interesting play for those big tippers!

Set-Up Notes

- Notification Delay is the time between that the automated notices. These give details of the game and what is happening. A recommended 4-5 minutes is a good delay between messages.
- Cost To Fire is self-explanatory, the minimum is 1, max is 50, recommended 10-20 for the optimal participation.
- Prizes are given in order as each ship is sunk. When all the ships are destroyed, the grand prize is awarded.
- Ships Position is either "Auto" for the computer placement of ships, or "Custom" which allows the broadcaster to choose where the ships are placed. The following options are for ship placement, and only used for custom positioning. Each ship has two fields, the first for the anchor point of the placement, the second for the direction. Placement is either Down or Right from the Anchor Point. Ex: Ship 1 anchor point is A2 facing down, the 2 length ship will be placed on A2 and B2. Ship 5 anchor point if G3 facing right, the length 5 ship will be placed on G3-G8.

App Commands

- /b shows the battleship board. If run by broadcaster or mod will send to everyone, otherwise to specific user.
- /shownotice (broadcaster or mod only) displays the room notice to everyone.
- /stats (broadcaster only) returns a stats list to the broadcaster with info about number of tips and tokens that session, as well as the number of shots, hits and accuracy.

Changelog

• - 1.0.5 3/14/16 - Found another small bug that was causing some issues with the app not loading, and made some adjustments to hopefully correct it.


• - 1.0.4 3/7/16 - Reworked the auto placement algorithms to be more efficient and increase loading speed. Also made a few other optimization tweaks to improve performance and stability. One issue that was brought up was that the app could sometimes appear to not start when generating the ships, there is now a loading message that shows that the app has started and is loading. Sometimes this can take a bit while generating the ships if CB's servers are running slow, so please keep that in mind. Thanks to those who continue to use my apps! As always, if you find bugs or have suggestions please leave a comment below or send me an email.
