# Battleship
An on-line multi-player implementation of Battleship (a.k.a. Sink the Fleet).

+
+Then wait for another player to show up (admire the velero). When
+they do, you'll have to place your ships in the lower (local) board by
+clicking LMB when the ship is at the right location; you can also
+change the orientation of the ship by pressing MMB and selecting
+“rotate ship”. If you are not happy with the current layout, press
+RMB and select “place ships” to start all over again (tip: if you
+don't want to move a ship, click LMB without moving the mouse.) Once
+you are done—a banner at the bottom will inform you—, press RMB and
+choose “done”.
+
+At this moment the battle will begin. Each of you has a turn (read
+[battleship.pdf](battleship.pdf)), and if you are the one shooting you
+have to aim at a tile at the upper (target) board—which will show a
+reticle—and press LMB to fire a shot. If you hit an enemy ship, the
+tile will show an X, otherwise a O. If you are the one waiting, well,
+just do that.
+
+There's no turn timeout so the battles can get as long as any of the
+players's will. If you quit or your connection is lost, your opponent
+wins.
