- Once a target has been identified, a alorithm to target areas around that position
- Track Hits: When the computer scores a 'hit', record the coordinates of that hit. This is important for the computer to remember where it was successful.
- Prioritize Adjacent Slots: After a hit, the computer should prioritize attacking the adjacent slots in subsequent turns. In Battleship, ships are placed in straight lines, so once you hit a part of a ship, adjacent slots are likely to be part of the same ship.
- Determine Attack Pattern: The computer should intelligently choose which adjacent slot to hit next. It could try horizontally (left or right of the hit) or vertically (above or below the hit) adjacent slots.
- Handle Multiple Hits: If the computer hits multiple parts of a ship, it should continue attacking along the line formed by these hits. For instance, if it hits two adjacent slots vertically, it should continue to attack above or below this line.
- Avoid Repeated Attacks: Ensure the computer doesn't attack a slot it has already attacked, whether it was a hit or miss.
- Fallback to Random Attacks: If the computer finishes attacking a ship (or if the adjacent attacks are all misses), it should revert to random attacks until it scores another hit.
