Ship Simulation Game

A Scalable Round-Based Ship Game in C++.

---

Everything in the Simulation uses the Mersenne Twister number generator instead of C++'s built-in generator ( http://www.math.sci.hiroshima-u.ac.jp/~m-mat/MT/emt.html )

Map Size can be as huge as the user wants it to be.

Returning which directions are blocked just with a single Integer

(appendedDirections / 1000 % 10, appendedDirections / 100 % 10, appendedDirections / 10 % 10, appendedDirections % 10)

Abilities of each Ship Type

• Ship::Pirate & Ship::BigPirate : Attacks nearby ships damages them and steals a piece of their treasure.
      Stats: Damage = 1, Speed = 1, Health = 15-20, StartingTreasure = 0

• Ship::Cargo & Ship::BigCargo : Increases the amount of treasure its carrying when next to a Dock.
      Stats: Damage = 0, Speed = 1-3, Health = 8, StartingTreasure = 1-40

• Ship::Repairer : Repairs a nearby ship by increasing its health, in exchange for treasure.
      Stats: Damage = 0, Speed = 1-3, Health = 9, StartingTreasure = 0, Repair = 3

• Ship::Explorer : Has 50% chance of withstanding Environment damage.
      Stats: Damage = 0, Speed = 1, Health = 4, StartingTreasure = 1-35

Abilities of Environment

• Treasure Chests : Can be picked up by Ships
      Value: 2

• Docks : Damages nearby Ships if they are Pirates, else repairs Ships
      Value: 1

• Weather : Damages a nearby Ship. Weather changes each Round
      Value: 1

• Dead Ships are converted to Treasure Chests
