THE SEA BATTLE
This is a world-wide known game played often by both adults
and children on sheets of checked paper. Now the Mighty Computer
challenges you on the rectangular sea-scopes of MS-Windows.
In the beginning of the game you have a fleet at your
command. You are to arrange your ships in battle order and
fight the Computer's squadron. The only means at your disposal
are your personal talent and courage and a mouse-driven Ship Gun.
RULES OF THE GAME
1. The ships in this game consist of square modules. When an
enemy shell penetrates the ship module it catches fire and
this ship is assumed "wounded". When all the modules of the ship
are hit the ship is gone.
2. When constructing a vessel you must place subsequent module
close to the previous. Computer will show you allowed checks as
empty. If Linear Option is on, the only possible vessel shape is
line. Otherwise you may construct a ship of your own design.
3. You have an advantage of first shot. If the shot is successful
(i.e. the enemy ship is hit) you get the right to one more shot,
otherwise the turn goes to your opponent.
4. The game ends when one of players loses his last ship.
ARRANGING YOUR FLEET
First, start a New Game from the Game menu. You will see two
game fields and an Arranging dialog box. In this box the current
ship is shown and the current module is highlighted. Use your
Mouse to build the fleet on the left field, which is yours.
Computer marks free checks making cross cursor. After the
foundation of the ship (use left button) next possible positions
are shown as empty checks. When the last block is placed
Computer will mark all the adjacent checks where ships can't be
placed and shows the next ship in a dialog box. When the last
ship is ready, dialog box disappears.
You may Reset current ship if you dislike it. Use Auto to
ask a Computer to arrange your ships or Cancel to abort
arranging.
SHOOTING
Simply click left button on the selected check. Fire means
the ship is wounded, cross - it is gone. Note Rule No.3.
STATISTICS
Two permanent dialog boxes represent statistics of the
battle. They contain information about fleet complement, shots
done and accuracy of shooting in percent.
RESULTS
If you have managed to overcome your PC then you have a
chance to record your result in the table of best results. The only
important parameter is victory game time.
OPTIONS
1. Level.
There are three levels in this game: Novice, Advanced and
Expert. Difference lies in the game field size - it is only
7-by-7 for Novice level, 10-by-10 for Advanced and 14-by-14 for
Expert. The maximal ship size also varies from 3 to 5.
2. Ship Organization.
Check "Linear" if you prefer your ships configures in a straight lines,
or, in default, you may arrange your ships as you see fit, giving you an
opportunity to implement your fantasy battlefield.
