In Ship War, the objective is to destroy the enemy fleet before it destroys yours. The game is played on a square board with 10 squares on each side. Before starting the game, place the boats on whatever squares you want on the board. You have five ships: the aircraft carrier, the destroyer, the cruiser, the submarine and the battleship (in the picture, from left to right).
The game begins after the ships have been placed. Two boards will appear on the screen: yours and your opponents. You can see your ships on yours but your opponent's board will be empty.
When it is your turn, click on one of your enemy's squares to attack it. If there is a ship in the box that you've attacked, it will turn orange and there will be an explosion: this means that you have hit a ship. If it turns light blue, you've hit water; in other words, your attack has not hit an enemy ship.
