the game battle ship ship location

hi

i am trying to code the game battleships,

how do i write the code for 2 players to chose the location of their ships?

the ship grid is a 6x6 grid (top left 1 bottom right 36)

each player has to place 5 ships

1- 1x2 (in size)

2- 1x3

1- 1x4

1- 1x5

the ships can only be placed left to right or up and down

the ships cannot over lamp

and each player should be able to choice there own placement with the program rembering where they placed their ships

@James Webber - how is the user choosing the location of each ship? Do you iterate over each of the five ships and ask the user to enter the coordinates (or start position and direction)? Do you then validate the inputs and action them or, if invalid, ask the user to re-enter the coordinates?

[James Webber]

@Geoff Hayes- by writing the number of the cube they wish the ship to start in and then either choising left right up or down for the computer to place the rest of the ship

should be asked for each ship

if the location of the ship goes out of bounds the it should ask them to re-enter the coordinates

[Geoff Hayes]

@James Webber - what have you tried so far?

There are lots of battleship games posted here in Answers as well as the File Exchange. Why don't you see how they did it?
