I am currently building my battleship console application in C#. I have prior experience
building projects with Vanilla JS and in React. I went through a tutorial on C# and could
grasp most of the concepts pretty well. I have jumped into project building because I know
this is where the maximum amount of growth will be as a developer. With that being said I
will lay out the issues arising in my application.
requirements
* the ship has a length of 5
* ship will be randomly assigned on a 10X10 grid
* when the ship is hit five times it is sunk and game is overI am having trouble choosing the best way to implement the 10x10 gameboard grid. With
some searching on the web I have came across the DataTable class, which allows for rows
and columns to be set in a table(I believe this to be the better approach), and I have attempted
to get them displayed in the Console below. Also I know that I can create a 10x10 grid with
a 2D array using int[,] grid = [10,10]; however I have realized that I can't assign the random values for the ship with an already populated array. I would like to get some feedback on how
I can move forward with creation of the gameboard, and random assignment of the ship on the board.
I know this post and my code are a little messy so please excuse me on that part. Any solutions or suggestions you recommend for me moving forward are welcomed and greatly appreciated. Hope you are very well wherever you may be.
