The game is called Battle Ship. It is based on an 8 by 8 square where ships are randomly placed. There are four different types of ships. The goal of the game is to destroy all the ships by launching "bomb" on certain coordinates. The faster you destroy them all, the better it is. There is a single player mode to play the game and destroy all the ships. Nevertheless, after you have destroyed them all, there is the possibility to let an AI play which does the same job and eventually it is compared who did better by using less attempts. Also, there is the possibility to only let the AI play itself. In the game, there is only one type of AI, which is random, meaning that hits coordinates randomly and it is easy to beat. The colors in the gui work perfectly on linux; however, we have found out that they do not work as well on Mac. For this reason, there might be the possibility that on Mac the colors in the gui are showed as borders of the cells and do not fill them all.
