🧪 Testing

Manual Testing

  1. Create a Battleship tournament
  2. Join with two different accounts
  3. Test ship placement phase
  4. Test battle phase
  5. Verify win condition

Component Testing

// Test ship placement
const handleCellClick = (x: number, y: number) => {
  if (selectedShip && !isShipPlaced(selectedShip.type)) {
    placeShip(selectedShip.type, x, y, shipOrientation);
  }
};

// Test shot firing
const fireShot = async (x: number, y: number) => {
  const response = await fetch('/battleship_fire', {
    method: 'POST',
    body: JSON.stringify({ sessionId, player: address, x, y })
  });
};

🚀 Deployment
