Battling Ships no more

It's official, I don't care enough. :P I may start over at some point.
It's too large for a bash script, maybe python instead.
...If I were to use a few preset boards at random this would be easier.

My color exploration led to burger with chez plz, possibly my best website to date.

After my tic-tac-toeing I realized that the battling ships game was not so different, in spirit, from the toe board. And so I set about making a war game in a time of war, and thinking of that all the while. The game of it was the point, not the war of it, but many games are violent. Anyway, just a thinking exercise, no harm intended.

~/bin/new/bashing-ships.sh is a work in progress, one I may finish at some point; I stopped while reworking the cpu players move and don't feel great about resuming.

Because it's fun

Tonight I made ~chezpwrd/bin/naughts-and-crosses.sh, no winner is declared but don't let that stop you. I recommend pairing this with classic rock for the full immersion experience.

"...what they're made of is a mystery, where they come from no-one knows..." Music is a long road, I've been half-trying for half my life and now I want to learn to write notation, crazy town. Music notation isn't so different from programming, in broad strokes; algorithm, script, interpreter.
