Overview

Battleship Classic is a game of naval strategy where two players secretly position their fleet of ships on a grid. Players take turns calling out coordinates, attempting to hit and sink their opponent's vessels.

The core gameplay loop revolves around deduction and prediction. Each missed shot provides information about where ships *aren't*, while successful hits narrow down the possibilities. The first player to sink all of their opponent's ships wins, providing a satisfying sense of strategic victory.
