Battle-ship challenge

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

Hi Ben,

 

First of all, thanks for the awesome show you guys manage to achieve each week. Keep up the good work!

 

Here is my challenge:

 

Every so often I am challenged into a game of battle-ship. Of course a nice game to play, however the set-up has aged in my opinion. This doesn't serve the playability of what is still a great game. For example: the pins fall out during the game and mess up your overview.

 

To my knowledge there has been an "minor" update of game with some electronics, however a fully redesigned version has never been made.

 

Attached you will find my brain-dump, fitted into a story-board.

 

Bye from the Netherlands!

 

Arko

    Thanks guys! Indeed wireless would be the best way to let both units communicate, I certainly agree to that. gadget.iom : The game you showed is indeed what I once saw.

    I like the idea of LEDs and buttons. It will help prevent a dishonest opponent from cheating. Sadly, the age of board games is almost over since you can play these on smart phones and tablets. I wonder what the final cost of this project would be.

    I'm sure it would take the same parts as a mechanical keyboard... I'm wondering if you can convert an old/outdated keyboard to do this.
