Things You'll Need:
- Computer
- Internet connection
-
Step 1
Find an online game community or online game website that offers online Battleship. Searching for online battleship through a search engine should yield plenty of results. Some game communities you might have to join to play but there should be a lot of choices to play without having to give any information.
-
Step 2
Read any on screen directions that may be present before beginning to set up the game board. Place your five ships one at a time by clicking and dragging the pieces on the game board. You can either place your battleships vertically or horizontally. There should be directions on how to toggle the position of your battleship.
-
Step 3
Once all of your ships have been deployed, the game will begin. You play battleship against one opponent. It's very likely your opponent will be a computer, and chances are you will go first. Point and click where you want to fire your first shot.
-
Step 4
If you hit, you get to go again until you miss. When you miss, then play passes to the computer. The board should be marked either by a different color or some other method to let you know where you have fired a shot.
-
Step 5
Play continues until all five battleships are sunk. The player left with at least one battleship wins the game.
