  • Battleship

    • the classic battleship game with a console-based interface
    • human vs computer
    • Rules:
      • in the beginning, the player can place two ships with the command: "ship C1L1C2L2C3L3", where the columns are letters from A-F and lines are numbers from 0-5
      • the player can try to place as many ships as they like; the last 2 will be taken into consideraton
      • when the player is ready, they need to type start
      • from now on, the possible commands are:
        • "attack CL"
        • "cheat" - the opponent's board is shown

      • the hit spots are represented as "o", the spots where a battleship is placed as "+", while the empty ones are shown as "."

  • Hammurabi

    • the ancient predecessor of "Civilisation" game with a console-based interface
    • turn-based strategy game
    • 5 turns(years)
    • Rules:
      • each year, the player receives a report of the situation:
        • the number of people who starved (given by the number of people that were not fed - 20 grains/person necessary)
        • the number of people who came to the city (random number between 0-10 if no one starved)
        • the number of acres of land owned by the city
        • the harvest rate (random between 1-6 grains per acre; each person can harvest at most 10 acres every year)
        • the number of units eaten by rats (20% chance of rat infestation each year -> at most 10% grain is eaten)
        • land price (random between 15-25 grain/acre)
        • grain stocks
      • each year, the player types the following requested numbers:
        • the number of acres to buy/sell (+/-)
        • the number of units to feed the population
        • the number of acres to plant
      • the game ends when:
        • at least half of the population dies during a year - the game is lost
        • 5 rounds have been played:
          • the player has over 100 population and over 1000 acres - the game is won
          • otherwise, the game is lost

  • Hangman

    • a console-based version of the Hangman game
    • the computer randomly selects a sentence from the file and the human player attempts to guess it

      • the player attempts to guess by typing a letter
      • starting from an empty string, the computer fills a new letter in the word "hangman" for each wrong guess
      • if "hangman" is complete, the player loses; if the player guesses the sentence before, the player wins
