[Solved] Codecademy Battleship! Python


There is only a very small error in your code, from what I can see. The last if statement, which includes your “Game Over” string, is indented incorrectly. Move it left one block:

  else:
    print "You missed my battleship!"
    board[guess_row][guess_col] = "X"

if turn == 3:
  print "Game Over"
  # Print (turn + 1) here!
  print_board(board)

Here is my complete code from that exercise:

from random import randint

board = []

for x in range(5):
    board.append(["O"] * 5)

def print_board(board):
    for row in board:
        print " ".join(row)

print "Let's play Battleship!"
print_board(board)

def random_row(board):
    return randint(0, len(board) - 1)

def random_col(board):
    return randint(0, len(board[0]) - 1)

ship_row = random_row(board)
ship_col = random_col(board)
print ship_row
print ship_col

for turn in range(4):
    print "Turn", turn + 1

    guess_row = int(raw_input("Guess Row:"))
    guess_col = int(raw_input("Guess Col:"))

    if guess_row == ship_row and guess_col == ship_col:
        print "Congratulations! You sunk my battleship!"
    else:
        if (guess_row < 0 or guess_row > 4) or (guess_col < 0 or guess_col > 4):
            print "Oops, that's not even in the ocean."
        elif(board[guess_row][guess_col] == "X"):
            print "You guessed that one already."
        else:
            print "You missed my battleship!"
            board[guess_row][guess_col] = "X"

        print_board(board)

    if turn == 3:
        print "Game Over"
