 # nships
 
-An attempt at networked Battleship over ncurses — host a game on a raw TCP socket (`server.c`, a plain `socket`/`bind`/`listen`/`accept` pair on port 8888) or join one by IP, trade names, then place ships on your own board before taking turns firing at your opponent's.

-Ship placement works: you move a ship around with WASD, rotate it, and lock it in, five ships per side. Turn-taking mostly works too — coordinates get sent and received over the socket so each player sees where the other is aiming. What never got finished is syncing the actual board state itself: the code that's supposed to exchange each player's ship layout after placement is stubbed out as comments ("send to p1" / "recieve p1"), so a real game currently plays blind past the placement phase.

-Worth knowing before you try to build it: `nships.c` still has an unresolved merge-conflict block sitting in `setPlace()` (`<<<<<<< HEAD` / `=======` / `>>>>>>> origin/main`) from whatever merge originally introduced it — that history got carried over intact rather than cleaned up, so it needs a manual pick before this will compile.

 ## Controls
 
 Ship placement:
-- `W`/`A`/`S`/`D` — move the ship
-- `R` — rotate
-- `Enter` — lock it in
+- `W`/`A`/`S`/`D`: move the ship
+- `R`: rotate
+- `Enter`: lock it in
 
 Firing:
-- `W`/`A`/`S`/`D` — move the cursor
-- `Enter` — fire
+- `W`/`A`/`S`/`D`: move the cursor
+- `Enter`: fire
