# Battleship TUI
Battleship TUI is an implementation of the popular paper-and-pen Battleship game for
your terminal. You can play against the computer or a real player via the Internet,
customize game options and appearance, keep track of your achievements, and more.
> [!NOTE]
> Please consider this an alpha-version software. You can still use it and enjoy it
> but note that things may break and data might get lost. Feel free to fill in an issue
> if you've found a bug or have a question.
## Features
* Singleplayer mode
* Multiplayer mode (via Internet)
* Customizable game rules
* Customizable UI
* Launch via CLI
* Game statistics
## Planned features
* Ranking system
* Account management
## Requirements
* A terminal (Windows PowerShell is fine too, see below)
* Python 3.10 or higher
> [!NOTE]
> If you're on Windows, **make sure** to install [the newer Windows Terminal](https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9N0DX20HK701?hl=en-us&gl=US).
> The older Windows PowerShell can't properly display some symbols.
## Installation
If you're on Linux or macOS, most probably you already have Python installed. You can verify it by
running `$ python --version`. If your Python version is lower than required, try installing the
latest operating system updates.
If you're on Windows, you can download and install the latest Python release from the
[official site](https://www.python.org/downloads/windows/).
The recommended way to install and update the game is via
[pipx](https://pypa.github.io/pipx/) (especially if you don't know anything about
virtual environments).
Install `pipx`, then install the game.
```shell
pipx install battleship-tui[client]
```
`battleship-tui` is merely a Python package and is distributed via PyPI. You can
install it via `pip` too, but make sure it installs into a venv so that you're not
messing with the system interpreter.
## Play
Once the game is installed you can use the `battleship` command to run it. This
command will launch the user interface and present you with the main menu.
### Play via CLI
You can launch the game via CLI subcommands too, especially if you want to skip some
in-game menus.
For example, if your favorite game mode is singleplayer, salvo variant, you can
quickly get into battle by running `battleship play single --salvo`.
Run `battleship play --help` to discover available options.
## Multiplayer
You can play Battleship TUI with your friends or colleagues via the Internet. Choose
**Multiplayer** option in the main menu to do this.
### Game account
You may sign up for a multiplayer account or try multiplayer with guest access.
To sign up, run `battleship account signup`. You'll be prompted with your email,
desired nickname, and a password. Your nickname will be displayed in-game. It should
contain 7 to 20 characters and be unique. Your password should contain at least 9
characters.
> [!NOTE]
> Guests given an autogenerated nickname, their game statistics isn't saved. Guest
> access will work until you log off.
