Project Inspiration and Purpose
I made this app so that I could develop my newly-acquired skills. I realized that the best way to
improve as a programmer would be to create a game, and I thought creating a clone of Battleship would be a good start.The Tech that Made it Happen
This app uses React, HTML, CSS, and vanilla JavaScript, because it is what I was learning at the time.
I used this technologies to create this project to see if I enjoyed building with them. As it turns out: I did!Challenges and Lessons
Although this project is incredibly simple and lacks originality in its overall concept, I gained a wealth
of knowledge from building it. The biggest problem was designing the gameboard and figuring out how to setup the ships for each player.
In the end, I determined that the user's experience would be best if I setup the ships for them. As a result, I created an algorithm
that placed the differently-sized ships in random positions.
