##Gameplay

• while victorious_player = nil
  1. attacking_player chooses location on defending_player’s grid
  2. location = [grid points]
  3. defending_player determines if one of his ships is at that point in the grid
  4. if ship is on point
     • identify type of ship
     • identify number of hit points for ship
     • then defending_player places red peg into point on ocean grid
     • defending_player tells attacking_player ship is hit
     • attacking_player places red peg into target grid
     • if hit_count == peg_number of hit ship then sunk_ship = true
       • puts "You sunk my ship!"
       • identify number of live ships
       • if live_ships = 0 then attacking_player wins because defending_player has no more ships victorious_player = attacking_player victorious_player.gloat end end
  • else 2. defending_player tells attacking_player they missed
    • attacking_player places white peg into target grid
  • end
  • attacking and defending player swap
