Battleships in Terminal With Python

BATTLESHIPS

IN PYTHON

This is my first project on Codecademy Computer Sciences pathway.

The task was to create a terminal based game or application in python, one of the ideas provided was for battleships and it looked interesting.

The game randomly places both your ships and enemy ships in the play area. Each player takes it in turn to fire at the opponents ships by entering grid details. Hits or misses are displayed on the grids.

When all ship sections of a team are destroyed the game is over and a winner declared.

The code can be fount at this link https://github.com/Leah9/battleships please give it a go and let me know if you found it fun or if you find an error.

This project was more complex than I initially invisioned but it was satisfying to overcome some of the early issues and making a output function that was both functional and pretty.

Looking forward to the next one :)

Hi :) My name is Leah. I like making stuff.. lots of stuff... from mittens to a water feature to remote temperature monitors and solar powered systems. Basically I like learning new things and keeping my mind occupied. This blog will be a record of things that I make with enough details to allow others to copy or customise and create their own things. It may also include code, computer projects and electronics. In my day job I am a technical services manager, network admin and copier & large format engineer. I have experience with html, php, mySql, python, MS Server including Exchange and Client OS, Linux Mint, Raspbian etc... Hope you find something helpful :) Oh and this is Rosetta, our rescue cat. We think she is around 11 years old but nobody knows for sure. She has lived with 4 families over her life but now that she is with us she has found her forever home. She will be making frequent appearances as she loves company and being in the way :p

How to stop Outlook Meeting Updates Going Directly to Deleted Items

How to stop Outlook Meeting Updates Going Directly to Deleted Items I received a support call from a customer regarding meeting updates being automatically processed and sent to the deleted items folder. This is not an especially great idea as the user may not be aware of important changes such as meeting contents adding items to discuss or additional documentation required etc. This appears to be an issue using Office 365 for business, I have not tested it with the personal version. The first attemt to resolve the issue was to obviously use the GUI available to the user and check the following. Outlook, Settings (Gear Icon), View all Outlook settings, Calendar, Events and Invitations, Un-Tick "Delete invitations and responses that have been updated." Unfortulately after testing again this does not resolve the issue, how irritating :/ Now it gets really interesting, we need to change a setting via a remote connection to exchange online via Powershell. Open powershell as admin
