Naval Battle
Version: 2.1.23082 Web: kde.org/knavalbattle/ https://apps.
Naval Battle is a two-player strategy board game where the objective is to sink the opponent’s four battleships. Although it’s a KDE game, you can install it on any desktop environment if your distro has the ability to install Flatpaks. If it does, use flatpak install flathub org.kde. knavalbattle to install the game.
The game display two grids when you start. The left one belongs to you, and the right to your opponent. Check the game’s status bar for instructions. At the start it asks you to place your ships on your side.
The blue area in the grid represents water. You can place the ships by hovering and clicking over your grid. By default, the ships are orientated horizontally, but you can right-click to orientate them vertically.
The ships come in four sizes. The smallest occupies a single quadrant, and the largest takes up four. Note that you can’t move the ships once you’ve placed them.
You can’t see your opponent’s ships, nor can they see yours. Once the ships have been placed, target your opponent’s ships by clicking on a quadrant in their grid. Players take turns to fire. A ship is sunk when all the quadrants it occupies are hit. Once you hit a ship, shoot in the adjacent quadrants as they are likely to also be occupied by the ship. The game lets you know when all the quadrants a ship occupies are hit. The player who sinks all their opponent’s ships wins. You can play the game against the computer or another player over the network. Use Host Game to start a network game. Your opponent must use Connect To Game to find and connect to your game.
