Board

Linked to the battleship command, allows you to place ships on the board.

This command allows you to configure you 8x8 grid board so that you can play battleship with your friends on Discord! This is by far the most complicated command, and will take some time to get used to.

l+board
l+board po [ship] [direction] [A-H] [1-8]
l+board clear

Usage 1

Using l+board will have the bot DM you your board. If you just started, it's probably empty, but don't worry! If you're in a game, the bot will DM you an empty grid and then your board. The empty grid will be used to keep track of the shots you make.

Usage 2

Placing your ships on the board is probably the most difficult part of the game. Using the position argument (abbreviated as "po"), you can then specify which ship you would like to place, the direction it faces, and the coordinates.

You can choose from:

• fighter [f] x1

  • 2 blocks

• light-frigate [lrf] x2

  • 3 blocks

• heavy-frigate [hmf] x1

  • 4 blocks

• destroyer [d] x1

  • 5 blocks

There are four directions that are accepted:

• left

• right

• up

• down

The letters A-H are used to represent the rows of the board, and the integers 1-8 are used for the columns. The ship is placed at the square specified, and then extended in the direction you specified until it spans the correct number of blocks to make it the kind of ship you specified.

Remember, you won't be able to modify the board while in a battleship game, so choose the positions wisely beforehand!

Usage 3

If you ever mess up a placement, you'll have to reset your board completely. Your board is also automatically cleared after each battleship match since it doesn't make much sense to use the same board in another match.

A method for randomly generating battleship boards is being worked on. This would present an option for the lazy players out there to skip placing the ships themselves.
