Assignment: Battleship Gameboard
Due: Thursday, March 19
Today in class we prepared for our Battleship games. First, everyone made a color-coded key for the game setup. Then the class played together to guess my point on the grid. Tonight they are to plot their own point that classmates will guess using the same game rules.
So, what can you do?
Game boards should have one identified point, and lines that extend at 45 degree angles from it making a giant X. All boxes along the lines will be bisected diagonally to be properly setup.
Ask them about the game. See what they noticed as we played and they plotted the points by color. I was careful not to give them any strategies, so the question is: did they develop any? The more they play, the better they will get if they use the information they have to figure out what they know, then figure out what they need to know.
Once we've played in class, you should try it! Having them explain the rules to you and see how many guesses it takes you to find their point will be fun. In fact, I will eventually make having you play them worth credit, so look forward to it! As someone in class said today, "This was my favorite game!"
