- GAME DESIGN
- ===========
-
- This program combines my desire to learn C and Windows programming
- with my love for the game of Battleship. Version 1.0 of Search & Destroy
- was a one grid version where the player had to sink five randomly placed
- ships in a certain amount of shots (determined by playing level). While
- version 1.0 was addicting, it did not use bitmaps to represent the ships
- and did not contain any logic for the computer to fire back. I added those
- features in ver 2.0 and the game began to seem more like traditional
- Battleship.
- Version 2.1 added a wealth of new features including different
- levels of computer firing logic, smooth animated ship deployment, automatic
- and repeat ship deployment (in addition to manual) and true Windows Help.
- This version (2.2) adds more levels of play, including levels that
- take into account the size of the remaining ships on the board. In addition,
- I have added sunken ship bitmaps and fixed the repeating messagebox bug.
- All the features are explained in detail in the on-line help.
- If you find any bugs, shows up, I would appreciate it if you leave
- me e-mail explaining what happened. I am constantly trying to improve the
- game, both in terms of adding new features and eliminating bugs, so all
- feedback is welcomed.
