The Rules of Paper Warfare
InkPlanes transforms standard Battleship rules by introducing custom planes with specialized vulnerable points.
1. Plane Geometry
Unlike standard linear ships, each player places exactly 2 planes. Each plane occupies 8 cells in a specific cross shape:
2. Hit Detection & Damage
- Miss: If the coordinate contains no plane parts, it displays as an empty shot dot.
- Body Hit: Hitting any of the 7 body cells marks that specific cell but keeps the rest of the plane hidden.
- Fatal Hit: Hitting the **Head (H)** instantly destroys the entire plane! All remaining hidden body cells of that plane are instantly revealed to all players.
- Elimination: When both planes of a player are destroyed, they are eliminated. The last player standing wins.
3. Dynamic Shooting Modes
Targeted Mode (Single Opponent)
Select a specific active opponent and target one cell on their grid. Ideal for focused tactical takedowns.
Universal Mode (Radar Sweep)
Choose a coordinate `(x, y)`. The shot fires at all active opponents simultaneously, revealing tiles on multiple grids at once!
