🚢 Lesson 2: Hunt All the Ships!

✅ Learning Outcomes

💡 Why It Matters

Real games don’t end after one guess! They track score, lives, and progress. Learning to manage game state is how you build Pac-Man, Minecraft, or Roblox games!

Lists and loops are used in every programming language — from apps to robots.

⏱️ Lesson Plan (40 minutes)

0–5 min → Review & Goal
“Last time: 1 ship. Today: 3 ships and 10 turns!”
Show the enhanced game in action.
5–20 min → Upgrade Your Code
Edit your Lesson 1 file to this: 
import random

ships = []
while len(ships) < 3:
    r = random.randint(0, 4)
    c = random.randint(0, 4)
    if [r, c] not in ships:
        ships.append([r, c])

print("3 ships hidden! 10 turns to find them all.")
hits = 0

for turn in range(10):
    print("\nTurn", turn + 1)
    guess_row = int(input("Row (0-4): "))
    guess_col = int(input("Col (0-4): "))
    
    if [guess_row, guess_col] in ships:
        print("🎯 HIT!")
        ships.remove([guess_row, guess_col])
        hits += 1
        if hits == 3:
            print("🏆 You win!")
            break
    else:
        print("💦 MISS!")

if hits < 3:
    print("Game over! You found", hits, "ships.")
20–35 min → Level Up!
• Test the game (try to win!)
• 🌟 Challenge 1: Let players use A, B, C for rows!
row_letter = input("Row (A-E): ").upper()
guess_row = ord(row_letter) - ord('A')
• 🌟 Challenge 2: Show how many turns are left!
35–40 min → Play & Reflect
Play your friend’s game! What makes it fun?
“Now YOU can make games — not just play them!”

🌟 You’re Now a Game Coder!

You’ve learned the core ideas behind almost every game: hidden objects, player input, feedback, and win/lose conditions.
