BattleshipAR - A recreation of the classic game "Battleship" with ARKit for WWDC19 Scholarship Submission

Battleship was once a game played on pencil and paper, where the objective is to sink your enemies' ships are before they do.

This all time classic is now brought to you with ARKit 2 and Multipeer!

Rules

1. You will need two people each with an iPad. One of you will be the host and the other will join the game.

2. First the host will set up a playing field.

3. Then, place your 5 ships onto your game board. Choose carefully, you will not be able to change the positions!

• Carrier: 5 units long
• Battleship: 4 units long
• Cruiser: 3 units long
• Submarine: 3 units long
• Destroyer: 2 units long

Note: If you have a hard time syncing world states, stop the playground and try again in a brighter area! Both players should be able to place ships at the same time.

4. Take turns bombing the other player's ships on their side of the board! You need to hit all parts of a ship to sink it. First one to sink the enemy fleet wins.

Notes

Do not change the playground name (keep it the same between devices) - it will affect the module name too!

Some next steps to this would be to create 3D models to use in the scenes. Currently this playground exists as a proof of concept. Additionally, ships can currently overlap each other, but would be something to work on in the future!
