Armada Battleship Game is a Java variation on the Milton Bradley game Battleship. The objective is simple: sink your opponent's ships before he sinks yours.
How to Play
Phase 1: Placing Your Ships
To have the computer randomly place your remaining ships, click on "Place Ships Randomly." Alternatively, to manually place your ships, do the following:
- Select a ship name from the list to the right of the playing board
- Click on an open square on the board to place one end of that ship
- Click on one of the now highlighted squares to place the other end of the ship
- Repeat until all your ships have been placed
You can remove a ship already placed and have the opportunity to replace it by clicking on any part of the ship. The instructions below the board will change to indicate what actions are available to you at a given moment.
Phase 2: Playing the Game
Click on open squares on the opponent's board to try to sink his ships. You will either hit or miss. Once you have hit every part of an individual ship, the destroyed ship will appear and the ship will be listed as Sunk. The computer will, of course, be shooting at you at the same time trying to sink your ships. You move first and then turns alternate. The first player to sink all of the opponent's ships is the winner.
Phase 3: Starting a New Game
When you win or lose, an image will appear indicating the result. Click on that image to start a new game. When you lose, all the surviving computer ships will be revealed.
