- General Rules
-
- Each player gets five shots a day. These five shots can be taken at
- any time during the day and do not have to be during the same session. As each
- player has five shots a day, he or she can attack up to five players a day.
- Any shots remaining at the end of the day are forfeited.
-
- One point will be given for each hit on an opponent's ship. If a hit
- sinks a ship, then the attacking player will get an additional number of points
- equal to the length of the ship that was sunk.
-
- Once all of your ships have been sunk, you will no longer be able to
- shoot, but you will be able to look around and see how everybody else is doing.

- Entering Your Ships
-
- If you are a new player, you will first be sent to the Ship Entry
- Screen. You must enter all five ships before you continue. To enter a ship,
- you enter the ship number in the first box, the row (A-J) in the second box,
- the column (0-9) in the third box, and the heading (NSEW) in the last box.
- The ships cannot overlap or extend out of the the playing area.
-
- If you need to remove a ship that has already been placed, you can
- enter the row and column of the ship, then put "X" as the heading.
-
- If you decide that you don't want to play, you can hit <esc> for the
- ship number and you will exit without playing.

- The Home Menu
-
- At the home menu, your ships will be displayed and you will be able to
- see all of the hits and misses on your ships. From here you can either view an
- enemy sea zone (you can choose whether or not to attack later), or you can quit
- the game.
-
- If you decide to quit the game and you have some shots left, you can
- take them later the same day.
-
- If you decide to view an enemy sea zone you will be given a list of all
- the players. Just enter the letter of the player whose sea zone you wish to
- view.

-
- At the enemy menu, you will be able to see the selected player's sea
- zone. His ships will not be visible, but any hits or misses in his zone will
- be indicated. You can choose to attack this player, view another sea zone, or
- return home.
-
- If you decide to attack this player, select 1 and enter the row and
- column at which you wish to shoot. A hit or miss will be indicated by the
- appropriate colored spot in the square at which you shot. If you sink a ship,
- you will get a message indicating which one it was.
-
- If you decide to view another sea zone you will be given a list of all
- the players. Just enter the letter of the player whose sea zone you wish to
