  • Battlecruiser (BC)
  • Light Cruiser (CL)
  • Destroyer (DD)
  • Submarine (SS)

• Battleground: The game takes place on a vast, open water setting, providing a realistic naval combat environment.

• Gameplay Mechanics:

  • Ship Placement Phase: Strategically place your ships at the beginning of the game.
  • Ship Selection: Select ships individually or multiple ships at once using shift-click. Group selected ships for easy management.
  • Movement and Targeting: Assign target destinations to ships. Ships will automatically engage nearby enemies.
  • Carrier and Bombers: Manage aircraft carriers and control bombers
  • Group Management: Create groups of ships for coordinated attacks.
  • Control Commands: Use specific commands to get more control over units actions.

• AI: Currently, there is no AI component for enemy ships. This may be added in the future.

• Multiplayer: The game is currently single-player only. Future versions may include multiplayer functionality.

Usage

Once compiled, the game runs like any other program. At the beginning, there is a phase where you can place your ships. The controls are as follows:

• Left Click a ship to select it.
• Right Click to give a selected ship a target destination.
• Ships shoot at close enemies on their own.
• H: Stop a selected ship.
• Shift + Click: Select multiple ships.
• G: Group selected ships for easy selection later.
• Number Keys: Select groups you have created.
• B: When selecting a carrier, select the bombers group on board.
• Right Click: Assign bombers a target enemy ship.
• H: Order planes back to the carrier.
• K: Order a "one way trip" for planes.
