Such a great video!! Would you think to make this game for 2 players by using sockets? For example: console shows two game table. One of them is for placing own ships and they’re visible there. Other one is for shooting the rivals’ ships. Second player’s ships are invisible until you hit them. And vice versa for second player. Shots are made sequentially.

how does the program turn the input (say A4) into positions on the array? Im having problems converting the A to a position as it is a alphabetic character

If I would like to specify the ship sizes but still randomize ship placement. How would you implement that?
For example I would like 1 ship sized 2 squares, 2 ships sized 3 squares, 1 ship sized 4 squares and 1 ship sized 5 squares.
