PRJ: Day 1: KEY

Here's How I created My Board

Here's the most basic way to create the board!

This is MY PERSONAL WAY...

These were the constants I defined to be used for the program

Step 2: Print The Board

This function prints the row header (A, B, C, D...)

Don't Try To Implement this part! It's just a fancy way of printing A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J at the top of the board

Here's the actual Board Print!

Explanation:

Here's a GREAT USE of AI in order to break down what the code does piece by piece. I put my code into ChatGPT and asked for an explicit explanation of the function I wrote!!

Step 3: Place Random Ships

Bordered Board

My Constants:

MAX_ROWS = 10MAX_COLUMNS = 10COL_WIDTH = 3WATER_ICON = "~"SHIP_ICON = "s"SHIP_EMOJI = "🚢"FULL_BLOCK = "\U00002588"RED = "\033[91m"RESET = "\033[0m"battleship_board = []shots_taken = []ship_locations = []BATTLESHIP_ASCII = r""" ____ _______ _______ _ ______ _____ _ _ _____ _____ | _ \ /\|__ __|__ __| | | ____|/ ____| | | |_ _| __ \ | |_) | / \ | | | | | | | |__ | (___ | |__| | | | | |__) | | _ < / /\ \ | | | | | | | __| \___ \| __ | | | | ___/ | |_) / ____ \| | | | | |____| |____ ____) | | | |_| |_| | |____/_/ \_\_| |_| |______|______|_____/|_| |_|_____|_|"""
