.SH DESCRIPTION
.I bts
and
.I btsd
are the client and server for a multi-user, on-line version of
.IR Battleship ,
the strategy and guessing board game. It's based on Milton Bradley's
1990 release, but without the player having to disclose the kind of
ship the opponent hits.
.PP
The
.I -d
flag enables debugging for both programs. You can change the server's
announce address with
.IR -a ,
which by default is tcp!*!3047.
.SH PLAYING
First each player lays their fleet on their
.I local
board.
.PP
Then the battle will begin, and each player has a turn to try and
figure out their opponent's fleet layout, by taking a shot at any
coordinate in the
.I target
board.
.PP
There's no timeout, so players can take as long as they want to fire a
shot. Use this to deploy your PSYOP skills.
.PP
The first player to find and sink the enemy fleet wins. If you quit
or disconnect, you lose.
