Frequently Asked Questions

The following are a few of the most-commonly asked questions about Sea Battle.

What in the world is Sea Battle?
Sea Battle is a multi-player game very similar to that of Battleship. A few differences exist. For instance, players on defense can move their ships. Also ships not sunk can have their parts regenerate over a period of time.
Who came up with the name Sea Battle?
Alexey. He was unaware that the game was called Battleship. Ever since that point, the name Sea Battle stuck.
Why not just stick with the rules of Battleship?
In order for this project to be a three-person project, our instructor required that we added more "timing issues" to the game.
Cool. I want to play Sea Battle! How much does it cost?
Um, since this is a school project, it's free. Play away. (The official Sea Battle Paypal Account is coming soon, have those credit card numbers ready.)
How come Sea Battle only works in Firefox? I'm a IE user.
Firefox supports some of the CSS2 features that we love and use in the game; Internet Explorer doesn't. Sea Battle does play particularly well in Opera though.
How many people made Sea Battle possible?
The individuals in the footer made this game possible. Also, we'd like to thank Albert B. for the initial hosting of the game.

Your game is incredibly slow. Do you have any ideas for improvement?
Future work involves rewriting the server using socket programming in C++ instead of with CGI, and the client using COMET instead of AJAX.
Hmm, it's asking me for my username. Are you going to spam me or use my data for demographic purposes?
A username is simply something you can use to identify yourself amongst the other players. So, to be safe, you shouldn't register with your email address or anything else disclosing personal information.
