					Contest 128: Playing Battleships
					 When I was growing up, Battleships was a game played with pen and paper. Now, of course, it's all gone electronic, with more bells and whistles than the Starship Enterprise. Here's a base model for a game of Battleships that I made in Dimensions a few years back. Can you finish it off? Doesn't have to be Battleships, of course: any traditional game could be given the electronic treatment. High res is here.

					 A belated Happy New Year to you all. I haven't been able to join in the challenges lately but have looked in from time to time to admire and enjoy all your works and always have a chuckle at some of the banter and when reading Steve's comments. All the best Sophie  |

					 Actually I am mguyer but have been locked out so I am here under an alias. Mrs mguyer spends Sunday mornings playing games and it seems that her mahjongg game looks surprisingly similar to Steve's electroinic battlesship game. ![]()  |

					 Strange Mguyer/2thdoc... Even your new alias creates a long long long long long long long name in the forums!      
I think you're jinxed (if that's the "write" spelling) _________________  |

					 I went 3D the best I could. LOL!! I would have made the gameboard a little smaller but then my "birds" (planes) woulda been too small to make the display visually acceptable.   ![]() _________________ Yesterday is History Tomorrow is a Mystery So Live for Today One Day At A Time!!!  |

					 Originally, I used the battleship board you created on the table; but having discovered this water effect quite by accident....I couldn't resist! Virtual Reality anyone?! Coming September, 2117. Reserve yours (for your great great great grandchildren) TODAY!
