What is Shipfight?
Shipfight is a Java version of the classic Battleship board game and it can be played as one player game against computer (four different difficulty levels available) or as two player game against real-life opponent. (A network or Internet -connection is required for two player game.)

The game is played on two grid boards, with a message screen and a chat box for communication between players (two player game).
