Excellent

Cannot play due to bug   Posted by: bilderbikkel on Saturday, February 07, 2009

When I start the game, I get a bug which prevents me to even play the game: 'Error 2: Wrong co-ordinate pair for ship 1'. Coding style is moderate: for example, there is the use of a hand-controlled linked-list where a std::vector would have been easier.

For the code, I'd given it three stars, due to this deadly bug, I only give it one star.

I hope the writer will correct the error and repost the program.

The bug you are referring to does not exist.
Most likely your input is WRONG.
I would have chosen vectors if I wanted to but its irrelevant with the end result. Afterall, programming is totally heuristic.

I really enjoyed the game. Too bad there isn't an option to play the computer.(Which I hope you are making next.)

Not too bad   Posted by: Fronic on Saturday, December 05, 2009

The game is pretty good. I do have a problem with the fact that in order to understand what you are doing you have to read the info text. It might have been more user-friendly to make the instructions directly where they are located in the program.(ie "Replay after a successful bombing? Enter 0 for no or 1 for yes.") Also, if it were me, I would have had placing the ships as a simple two inputed response: "Give co-ordinates:" and "Give direction away from co-ordinates:". Those are all I have for constructive criticism for you and I find the game to be enjoyable.

Too Easy For User Error   Posted by: Nickelxk5 on Monday, December 21, 2009

I would play have other people you know play your game, without your help, and observe what they do and reduce amount of room there is for user error. It took me 4 or 5 tries just to put one ship in to the coordinates. I think it would be easier if you prompted the user to enter the "start" coordinate for the ship, and the "end" coordinate. Also i think using O's and X's for marking the feild would be better. But as you can tell all my suggestions are nit picking at your "game" not the code, its a great program i am impressed.
