Battleship Excel

Battleship

1.           Open Microsoft Excel.

2.          Change your page orientation to Landscape.

3.          Change your margins to .25.

4.          Make sure that your page fits 1 page wide by 1 page long.

5.          Select Columns A to j. Change the column width to 3.

6.          Highlight cells A1 to J10. Change the color to a shade of blue for the ocean.                  This is your playing grid.  It is very helpful to use boarders on your gridlines.                 Hide columns K-Y (highlight, right-click, hide).

7.          Now create another board next to the last one in cells AA to AJ.  This is to be                used as your opponent’s playing grid.

8.          Click View/Zoom. Zoom to 100%.

9.          Use WordArt to enter the name Battleship below your playing grid.

10.        Use WordArt to enter your name vs. your opponent’s name (for example, Leslie             vs. Lance) below Battleship.

11.         Now, place your ships on your grid. You have the following ships:

a.           Carrier – 5 cells

b.          Battleship – 4 cells

c.          Cruiser – 3 cells

d.          Submarine – 3 cells

e.          Destroyer- 2 cells

12.        To place your ships, select the correct number of cells and then color them a color of your choice (not black or red, though). Remember, your cells can only go across or down.

13.        Now, choose someone to go first. Whomever goes first chooses coordinates (i.e. B12). If B12 is a miss, the person that went should change the cell color to black. If it is a hit, change it to red.

14. Continue playing the game until you sink all the ships.

15. Once you’ve finished the game, use WordArt to place the name of the winner across the playing grids.

16. Save your board as yournameBattleship and turn in to
