Battleship.pm

# File: Battleship.pm
#
# Purpose: Simplified version of the Battleship board game. In this variant,
# there is one game grid/board and every player's ships share it without
# overlapping. This adds an element of strategy: everybody knows where their
# own ships are located, ergo they know where NOT to aim. This helps to speed
# games up by removing some randomness.
#
# Note: This code was written circa 1993 for a DikuMUD fork. It was originally
# written in C, as I was teaching the language to myself in my early teens. Two
# decades or so later, I transliterated this code from C to Perl for PBot. Much
# of the "ugly" C-style design of this code has been preserved for personal
# historical reasons -- I was inspired by the IOCCC and I attempted to be clever
# with nested conditional operators and other silliness. Please be gentle if you
# read this code. :)
#
# Update: Much of this code has now been refactored to support more than two
# players on a single board. The board grows in size for each additional player,
# to accomodate their ships. Whirlpools have also been added. They are initially
# hidden by the ocean. When shot, they reveal themselves on the map and deflect
# the shot to a random tile. Much of the IOCCC silliness has been removed so that
# I can maintain this code without going insane.
