[LRUG] Battleship: Ruby Fight Club

[Tim Cowlishaw]

Hi all,

A couple more questions for Paul, sorry:

1) What would be a reasonable upper bound to the runtime of a single
'turn' of the game? Is there one?

2) If I were to write a player that simulates games as part of its
strategy, can I rely on the existing game engine for this, or would I
fall afoul of the measures (described earlier in the thread) designed
to prevent nefarious players from using reflection to inspect the
state of the opponent's board?

3) Does all the code required by the player need to be contained in
the one file, or can it require other files?

Thanks,

Tim
