Battleship against a CPU admiral. Both fleets of five ships are placed automatically, then you trade salvos: move the cursor on the enemy grid, press ENTER to fire, and watch your own grid take return fire on the right.

The AI hunts like a person
Difficulty changes how the CPU searches, not how lucky it gets:
- EASY fires at random.
- NORMAL works the cells around a hit, and once two hits line up it locks onto the ship's axis and stops wasting shots off-line.
- HARD adds parity hunting: while searching it only checks every other cell, because even the smallest ship must cover one of them.
HARD sinks a fleet in roughly 59 shots of 100 where random firing needs about 95. First to sink all five ships wins, and your win count is saved per difficulty.
