I wanted to try and beat his algorithms, so naturally I needeed a battleship game generator. So I created one, as an http service, because why not!
Listens on port 8080.
/new -> creates a new game and returns it's ID (game_id) /turn -> recieves the gameID and the tile you want to hit
Examples:
curl http://localhost:8080/new
{"status":0,"game_id":0}
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/turn -d '{"game_id":0,"tile":"50"}'
{"code":,"message":"miss"}
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/turn -d '{"game_id":0,"tile":"51"}'
{"code":0,"message":"miss"}
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/turn -d '{"game_id":0,"tile":"52"}'
{"code":1,"message":"hit"}
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/turn -d '{"game_id":0,"tile":"53"}'
{"code":1,"message":"hit"}
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/turn -d '{"game_id":0,"tile":"54"}'
{"code":1,"message":"hit"}
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/turn -d '{"game_id":0,"tile":"55"}'
{"code":1,"message":"hit"}
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/turn -d '{"game_id":0,"tile":"56"}'
{"code":2,"message":"sunk my Carrier"}
...
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" http://localhost:8080/turn -d '{"game_id":0,"tile":"3"}'
{"code":3,"message":"sunk my Submarine You won!"}
The grid is 10x10
Tile name is "XY" where X is X coordinate [0-9] and Y is Y coordinate [0-9]
Return Codes:
0 -> Miss
1 -> Hit
2 -> Sunk
3 -> Game ended
| Type | Size |
