I've always been a fan of Battleship but I agree that it needs something
new added to it when turned into a videogame. The ideal example of turning
a board game into a videogame is Archon, as it merges action elements in
with the board game strategy. It might be possible to do something similar
with Battleship by deviating from the gameplay and making it more real-time
or multi-screened.
I may give it a shot since I've already had some experience working with
playfield bitmaps. I also did a Battleship like game in Macromedia Flash
so I've dealt with some of the basic game logic issues.
It sounds like a simpler game than Death Derby. But I doubt I'd "finish
it" before I return to Death Derby. I'd like to just do a proof of concept
kernel for now.
