Parameters.
As long as no game is currently running, some parameters may be adjusted. As soon as the game begins, the above radio buttons are disabled.
Ships' shape
In all cases, a minimal condition must be fulfilled : the boats' squares must touch one another on at least one point.
Three kinds of shapes are implemented.
§ Regular with linear boats
§ Bent : two squares must share at least on side, but the shape has not to be a linear one.
§ Weird :only the minimal condition must be fulfilled. Two squares have to share at least one corner.
This is a hierarchical order : weird boats can be bent or regular, bent boats can be regular as well, Regular boats can be ... just regular.
Grid's size
Three sizes are supported : 5x5 squares, 10x10 squares (the typical one) and 12x12.
Default flotillas structures are fit to the size of the grid (see under ' shipyard building the flotilla ' section for particulars).
