A downloadable game for Windows

this is a very simple battleships prototype using a console and text-based input. this was made as more of an experiment into how to program in c# and how to implement a game loop without an engine.

when playing the game you will first be presented with a board to be able to place your boats upon. boats are represented with "X" and empty spaces by an  " . "

"H" denotes that a ship has been hit, and "M" denotes that a shot missed.

you play against an ai enemy ~ that is not very smart ~ and take it in turns to choose a location to attack until one of you has sunk all of the enemy's boats.

be warned this project is more of an exercise for me and is by no means polished to any extent, I do however intend to upload a more advanced version of this game in the future which will hopefully improve graphics, and clean up a lot of the code.
